A Flexible Curriculum
“Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and i will move the world”
— Archimedes, 250 BCE (over 2,000 years ago in his book Equilibrium of Planes)
With new technology, the lever gets longer… as the world moves, how can these tools be used to help build the future? Students want to know.
