The change-the- world generation. The true digital natives (sorry, Millennials). The world is buzzing about what Gen Z thinks, feels, does, texts and tweets, but it's time for some real talk. Welcome to your Gen Z primer. It will help you understand what defines them: technology, family life, entertainment, education and everything in between. We must explore new ways of connecting with them. They have a perspective, a voice and a readiness to make a difference. We have some suggestions for how to engage tomorrow's college students. Carolyn Kent, Ologie 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Entrepreneurialism InnovationU: Unlocking the University-as-Incubator Hilton | Salon E | Panel Universities develop and commercialize IP in critical areas, from medicine to particle physics. Yet, despite being the most well positioned for the task, universities have not played as big of a role in developing EdTech. Instead of more technologies in search of a problem, university-grown innovation can help to develop user-fo- cused solutions: technology made for educators, by educators. The university-as-innovation-playground approach allows entrepre- neurs to prototype and iterate quickly with faculty and students on campus. Hear from academics-turned-entrepreneurs who have successfully used this approach to develop and launch technologies aimed at the biggest challenges in higher ed. Dror Ben-Naim, Smart Sparrow, Mitzi Montoya, Arizona State University, Perry Samson, University of Michigan, Robert Pianta, University of Virginia 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Learning Spaces Collaboration Culture by Design Hilton | Salon G | Panel | #cultxdesgn CPE Collaboration is a fundamental human endeavor: people work together to achieve things they cannot achieve alone. Increasingly, new learning spaces and school curricula are shaped by a team- based model of collaborative engagement, and collaboration as a concept is all the rage. But how do we move beyond the "collab- oration" buzzword? What are the components of a well-designed collaboration culture that fosters meaningful and productive group interactions? And how do we measure success? This panel will explore the ways that design and institutional culture can merge to create intellectual communities that prioritize learning over teach- ing and teamwork over individual achievement. Alex O'Briant, Ennead Architects, Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School, Eric Hirst, The University of Texas at Austin 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Instructional Strategies Can Hip Hop Save Us? Youth & School Culture ACC | Room 18ABC | Featured CPE Regardless of one's nationality, ethnicity and/or social class, ev- eryone is familiar with, and has knowledge of, hip hop. Yet, hip hop culture, which is youth culture, is stigmatized, marginalized and pro- hibited from school settings. If youth culture is deemed irrelevant, does that affect their academic achievement and their self worth? Is there a correlation to the high school graduation rate? This panel in- cludes teachers, professors and popular rappers who will pose this essential question: Can hip hop's presence in social media and pop culture be leveraged to prepare students for careers and college?
