Designing Legacies Thru Education Capital with Dr. Jennifer Berry

How do we teach durable skills, such as reflection, as well as create support that allows for 'multiple a-ha moments' for legacies to come to fruition? As today's communities, families, and organizations struggles to prepare the next generation(s) for an ever changing world, many overlook the deeper human qualities that create resilience, adaptability, and 'being comfortable with failure' when navigating rigorous challenges. So how do we invest in K-16 (kindergarten thru age 17) as a strategy for economic and societal impact as well as 'legacy development'? In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Dr. Jennifer Berry to reveal how and why STEM education as well as a growth mindset begins long before a résumé is ever written. Jennifer shares how collaboration between education, industry, and community ecosystems can transform not only confidence, but contribution and legacies. This conversation challenges listeners to think beyond AI success and consider the kind of support, partnerships and values we are all modeling as well as passing forward.
