For the past several weeks, Slate and our readers have been working together to reimagine the school classroom for the 21st century. You've submitted scores of fascinating ideas for our crowdsourcing project, involving everything from outdoor classes to hexagonal rooms to better furniture. (Check them out here.) Now it's time for the next step: getting us all together in a room to trade ideas, brainstorm, and have some free drinks.
So I'm delighted to invite you to join us for a conversation at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 8. Several really smart education thinkers will talk briefly about the challenges and opportunities in redesigning American classrooms. After that, we'll split up into groups and swaps ideas about fixing the classroom—ideas, and perhaps even actual plans, that we will publish and publicize on Slate. And then we'll break for food and cocktails, and you'll get a chance to meet fellow Slate readers, architects, educators, and students.
I hope to see you there. Check out the full text of the invitation here. And click here to register for the event.
