It is exciting to have an environment where information can be introduced and processed and where life, play, entertainment, school, and work co-mingle’ (LibraryJournal.com Born with the Chip)

students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist…in order to

solve problems that we don’t even know are problems yet.”
