Listen "First Steps on the Other Side of the Bridge"
Episode Synopsis
Greg Twemlow's article describes the genesis and evolution of his educational program, Impact Blueprint, which aims to prepare students for life after high school by providing real-world problem-solving experiences. Initially conceived in 2020 as a two-day workshop where students collaborated with local businesses, the program proved highly successful but faced a budget cut in late 2023. This setback prompted a significant redesign, incorporating AI as a "thinking partner" and developing the Impact Blueprint Playbook to document the students' innovative processes. Twemlow emphasises that the program's goal is not to teach skills but to "reveal" them through real-world tension, viewing the workshop as a "rehearsal for relevance" that helps students cross the metaphorical bridge into the unstructured adult world and become "thinkers" and "strategists."
