This month, we're hosting two Learning by Making events in the US, and you're invited! Join us for an evening of thought-provoking talks, exploration, and refreshments. With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we'll discuss how we can nurture the competencies needed for learners to thrive in the 21st century and beyond.
