What knowledge, skills and attitudes would the next generation have to learn, and what can I do as a parent to nurture my child's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM)? How to Equip My Child with Skills for a Tech-Centric Future We'll start off with a short sharing on how the economy of the future is going to be like when a wave of disruption hits traditional businesses. We'll then hear from a panel of parents on what they are currently doing to prepare their kids for the new economy. Finally, we'll hear from some of our very own young CEOs, who will pitch their start-up and social enterprise ideas, before taking a break to chit-chat over tea. Come join us for 2 hours on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and meet other parents of young entrepreneurs as well!
