Education Revolution: How AI and Joy will Transform Learning | Andy Bell | TEDxTexasStateUniversity
America’s education system hasn’t fundamentally changed in over a century, but the world dramatically has. In this talk, Andy Bell shares how a life-changing diagnosis ignited his urgent call for an education revolution. Drawing from his experience as an innovation leader at LEGO Education and CEO at Thinkery, he reveals three essential elements — engaging environments, AI-powered personalization, and the transformative power of joy — to create an education system that truly prepares students to thrive today and in a future of limitless possibilities. Andy Bell is driven to create a meaningful impact in the world by reimagining education to bring a lifelong love of learning to ALL kids. As a cancer survivor, engineer, educator, father, public speaker, and executive leader, his relentless focus is finding the potential in all things and collaboratively building innovative solutions to ensure today's youth thrive. As Director of Innovation & Ecosystems at LEGO Education, he helped bring groundbreaking STEM learning solutions that inspire creativity to millions of students across the globe through the LEGO MINDSTORMS and WeDo product lines. As the CEO of Thinkery, he is equitably expanding access to joyful learning experiences through new educational models including a first-of-its-kind neighborhood museum embedded in a Title 1 public school. He passionately works as an advocate and thought leader serving on the Advisory Board for SXSW EDU, the Champions Board for the Greater Austin STEM Ecosystem, and the Board of Directors for the Center for Engineering and Education Outreach at Tufts University.
