IMPACTSCOOL

Impactscool is an open organization bringing immersive free education to schools and universities about exponential technologies, with a focus on social and ethical impacts of the consequent changes. Impactscool workshops not only are for the students but also for teachers, thanks to an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) signed at the beginning of 2018. Educate hundreds of students about new technologies and on the impact and the ethical and social implications they have ... on our society; encourage cooperation for the resolution of thousands of local and global challenges. Train and encourage all actors of the system (students, companies and institutions) to become conscious protagonists in addressing change in the right direction. Knowing the potentials of technologies as robotics, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, nanotechnology and blockchain, and learning how to use them could be an extraordinary source in driving the change, instead of suffering it or trying to resist. Before the change takes place, we must deal with ethical and legal aspects, and the discussion must be open to all humanity. We believe that the future is open source and that it can and should be built by everyone, together. This is why it is essential to help people imagine possible futures, through format and techniques of foresight.More
