educating for the future


Yesterday I visited Nextspace, a not for profit think tank, catalyst, mentoring organisation charged with facilitating the growth of 3D graphical communications technology. I had a tour of the facility and a demonstration of their some of their equipment. Butterflies and golf balls flew at me out of the screen!

Brenda Frisk, Nextspace's Business and Education Strategist, had some very switched on ideas about generating innovation in NZ and, more particularly, innovative thinking. If any of you are interested in models for generating innovative thinking among youth contact

Also....in a related way you may be interested in this article that came out of the recent Creative Australia Forum.
