We will begin the Innovation Summit with a tour of Geekdom, a
unique co-working space that demonstrates some of the key
ingredients for innovation: collaboration, “making,” problemThe Anacacho Ballroom at The St. Anthony Hotel, San Antonio, TX
solving, and more. More than just a co-working space, Geekdom
offers a peek into what working environments might look like
for our students—not just in terms of collaborative physical spaces, but also collaborative business processes, where they will be required to
problem-solve and collaborate, build and invent. After the tour, Geekdom COO David Garcia will discuss their vision for this workspace and talk
with attendees about how K-12 might better prepare their students for this kind of work environment.
4:30 – 5:30 pm
What’s Next
Anacacho Ballroom
In the opening panel, we’ll hear from innovative business leaders about what skills they would like to see being taught in K-12 schools to
better prepare students for future careers. Speakers include a business partner for the new CAST Tech High School, which aims to bring
together local business, higher ed, and K-12 leaders to create a career-themed high school, and a former K-12 CIO who will talk about how he
translated his experience from K-12 to the private sector.
