Karema Akilah on Decentralized, Human-Centered Learning Environments

Kids need to be trusted that their curiosities are enough.
Sometimes the mother needs to retire the teacher.

This episode is supported by our recent Artificial Intelligence publication which focuses on the ways in which AI is shaping teaching, leading and learning.

On this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Nate McClennen is joined by Karema Akilah, founder of the Genius School, Genii DAO and Geniiverse. We first met Karema at ASU+GSV and were struck by her creative “genius” in pulling together homeschools, Web3, metaverse worlds and all around commitment to learner agency, purpose and difference making.

Know your world and how that has impacted you.
