Robotic Red Blood Cells To Vastly Expand Human Capabilities

By: David Russell Schilling | July 20th, 2013

Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago is currently testing robotic red blood cells or respirocytes in rats. According to a CNN report respirocytes or mechanical red blood cells will augment or replace human red blood cells carrying oxygen to the body and enhancing mental and physical performance. Respirocytes will be built using “molecular assemblers”, a kind of molecular printing process, in nano-factories.http://www.industrytap.com/robotic-red-blood-cells-to-vastly-expand-human-capabilities/3656

The true secret behind the curtain

There are too many college educated, experienced STEM workers who are

trying to find a job; there is not a shortage of them (Economic Policy

Institute). However, current STEM job categorization does not typically

include health and medical jobs or the majority of middle and high skill jobs.

STEM is transformation of social, human, and

environmental systems by human creativity & design

and the unintended consequences of our

actions.

STEM = Innovation

What is STEM in the context of P-20 Education Practice?

 STEM is transformation by design. STEM is transformation of social, human, and environmental systems by human design and the unintended consequences of our actions. STEM is a technological force changing society and social institutions. STEM is changing the structure, flow, and composition of social institutions and personal identity: family, education, work, economy, law, government, etc. From an identity perspective technology and more broadly STEM effects our worldview, our concepts of: self-efficacy, subjectivity, objectivity, privacy, time, space (place), geography, cosmology, individuality, identity, values, beliefs and culture. STEM is a process of collaboration connecting institutional silos (education, government, industry, and civil society) to satisfy community and global needs. STEM is confronting the local challenges in your community and school through the process of inquiry, design, and innovation. STEM is turning a community inward on itself to form learning communities and laboratories designed to effect local and global opportunities and challenges through collaboration and cooperation. STEM is a moral imperative to prepare all students for their future, rather than our past. STEM educational practices, ideally, today open access and opportunity in education through a balanced approach to learning that retains the important fundamentals of classical education while integrating contemporary knowledge, processes, and tools.

When we face a challenge where people have to change, leadership’s role is to engage the people with the problem to solve it for themselves—rather than

prescribing a solution from the top down.

Adaptive Leadership Ronald Heifetz Harvard University

http://hbr.org/product/the-theory-behind-the-practice-a-brief-introductio/an/3241BC-PDF-ENG

Successful adaptive changes build on the past

rather than jettison it.

Organizational adaptation occurs

through experimentation.

Adaptation relies on diversity.

“There are kids on Maui who have never been to

the top of the mountain or to Hana much less have they traveled off of the

island.”

How do we cultivate innovation and innovators in our schools?

Maryland Classroom: CTE: Educating Tomorrow’s Workforce Today, April 2008

In P-20 education, Rigorous Programs of Study (R-POS) dovetailing secondary education and two- and 4-year pathways use the Career and Technical Education (CTE) framework pioneered over the past 27 years by the now defunct, Tech Prep; Unification of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics to fuel research and development across the disciplines, and innovation in STEM subjects (especially in university R&D (Convergence Science or STEM Convergence, but also emerging in K-12 STEM education);  A general trend toward unification of knowledge- and skill- based instructional practice and learning. In academia, theory and practical arts are unified by process in the escalation of computer science and/or computational thinking into the academic domain of science and the core curricula. In the CTE world, academic-CTE integration is the alignment of theory and applied arts in secondary and post secondary career and college preparation. The movement to integrate the arts and STEM (or, vice versa) and to mainstream engineering in K-12 education practice also represent this convergence, or unification, of academics and applied arts; and, A general orientation of learning and education to design and innovation that unifies classical and contemporary knowledge and tools. STEM is about innovation, how we work together to adapt to the world in which we live, and how we approach learning and education of the next generation.

Classical Contemporary Education - Systems Innovation

a. ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP - Adaptive leadership is specifically about change that enables the capacity to thrive—change led from the bottom up and the top down simultaneously. 

b. INNOVATION LABORATORIES – Positioning challenges and opportunities from the community (local and/or global) in the center of learning and education goals through student- and teacher-driven innovation projects.

c. CULTURE OF INNOVATION - Context and frame for learning is real world and purpose driven incorporating failure as feedback to the learning process. A culture of innovation is conducive to learning, improving, and adapting while fostering risk taking. In this view, learning cannot be achieved without feedback as an integral part of the learning loop.

INTEGRATED ACADEMIC & APPLIED PRACTICE - 

STEM is used as a bridge to connect academic, arts, CTE, and health education;

Delivering integrated programs of study across disciplines (coherent course sequences);

Integrating fine arts, performing arts, cultural arts, commercial arts, and creativity as foundational to school culture and outcomes (not an add on); 

Applying knowledge and skill-based learning through apprenticeship, expert modeling, and project work;

For Dr. Francis X. “Duke” Kane

liberal education and the arts are

part and parcel to STEM education and the

cultivation of the “creativeforce” we need for the missions ahead.

For Duke, “creativity and collaboration” were the two

necessary qualities to engender in the education of what he

affectionately called the “Speed of Light Generation.”

From Quantitative Expansion to Qualitative Accomplishments such as the increase in productivity through legal and institutional reforms and innovations in business processes throughout society…Social transformation not just technical.

· From Creation of new industries led by the government to Foundation for new industries. The government’s new role is to focus on the enabling environment and the private sector will be developing new independent and creative industries… Bottom up and top down organization for innovation.

· From Catch-up Strategy to Leading Strategy - To strengthen competitiveness in IT, the government will increase leading investments in core technologies and strategic services which have the potential to produce significant added value in the future. Innovation leader….

"Remember the movie Groundhog Day, where the main character wakes up every morning and realizes nothing has changed? He's reliving the same day over and over again. Well that pretty much sums up the latest PISA results for 15-year-olds in the U.S. Their scores in reading, math and

science have not changed since 2003."

U.S. Students Slide In Global Ranking On Math, Reading, Scienceby BILL CHAPPELLDecember 03, 2013 7:37 AM

The Commission reported:

1. There was a widespread interest in the subject of industrial education.

2. The lack of skilled workmen was not chiefly a want of manual dexterity but a want of what what may be called industrial intelligence.

3. There was a growing feeling of inadequacy of the existing public school system to fully meet the needs of modern industrial and social conditions. The schools were too exclusively literary in their spirit, scope, and methods.

4. To the question of who should bear the expense of technical education, the common answer was the state.
