1. Expose your kid to lots of things. 2. See what makes them come alive. 3. Double down on THAT.
Your child is a creative genius, but you're forcing them into coding bootcamps. Your kid is interpersonally gifted, but you're pushing math tutors. Stop projecting your dreams onto their unique brilliance.

Here's a quick rundown on how my wife and I do this while working FT:. - Moonrise. We can drop off our kids anytime from 9am-6pm, including weekends and summers. There's built-in socialization PLUS all kinds of amazing learning experiences. This is my company so I'm biased, but.
Day in the life of my kids:. - Wake up.- Breakfast + Minecraft + FaceTime cousins.- Plan the day (whiteboard to-do list).- IXL, Synthesis, Math Academy.- Workout.- Craft.- Outdoor time .- Lunch (10yo made yesterday).- Moonrise (Creative Writing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu).- Hang with.

Sharing to show what's possible for a busy family with two working parents. It's not rocket science or some elitist fantasy. We're fortunate to have flexible jobs, but it's radically different than spending $30k/year per kid on private school, or the time commitment most people.

My best thinking about Moonrise comes from asking what I want for my own kids. The answer is always in-person spaces, experiences, and friends. The best technology will support this, not replace it.
In 10 years, the edge won’t be in what you can automate, but in what you can humanate.

I see stuff like this in Georgia all the time.
one of the most radicalizing things you can do is simply see what life was like not too long ago.

Some examples that come to mind: . - Design of the built environment.- Political discourse.- Art.- Media portrayals of the future.- National debt.- Cultural homogenization.- COVID protocols.- Socialism.- Divorce.- Porn.- Attention economy.- Childhoods spent in classrooms.
when you make light of something for too long, people forget the serious part.

@geoffreydgraham Tagged you because of your construction knowledge and interest in vocational training, not because I expect you to fund the grant 😂.

Moonrise design ethos in a nutshell.
Unironically: Montessori classrooms need this. Battery/electricity/software/appliance-related practical life would build efficacy in class and at home, and spiritualize everyday tech. “Montessori == wood” 1907-frozen luddites are failing. Catastrophically. Not a small failure.

Excited to show my kids this movie the way Walt Disney intended - projected on a bedsheet by woodland creatures under a full moon.
A kids tablet LilyPad will be a villain in ‘TOY STORY 5’. The tablet has a different perception of what’s best for Bonnie in contrast to the toys.
