Fiza: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Globally, 92% of medical data is recorded by pen and paper. These paper-based medical records are easily lost and never updated which leads to delayed diagnosis and irregular monitoring of a patient's health.
Benjamin: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The young people who are in school today are growing up in a world that will be very different in ten or 15 years. This is because of the climate crisis that is fueling mass migration, the need to adapt our sources of food, how we move around, how we live near the shore and more, as well as the potential disruptive and creative possibilities of AI. No one can predict what the future will hold. But we can say with certainty the people will have to be adaptive, creative, take risks, and manage uncertainty. Play helps in all these regards, and school needs to be places that help prepare young people for these challenges.
Luz: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We aim to address the social, racial, and economic inequalities—in particular, among the Latino immigrant community in our neighborhoods—which can prevent immigrants moving ahead in life, in the workplace, and in society. Right now, our neighborhood is going through a rapid gentrification and as a result our community is getting displaced, the Latino immigrant community is going down from 56% to 40% as of today. Our community historically has jobs that do not pay well and are labor intensive and without benefits. As immigrant workers, most of the time we think we don’t have the power to make changes within the companies we work for or the neighborhoods we live in.
