Our weekly pick of world-changing insights from technology’s most influential thought leaders. LEAP:IN.
This week we’re quoting Amy Peck (Founder and CEO at Endeavour XR)
What Peck said:
“...imagine immersive worlds of learning where children from all over the world could learn together, explore the past, and build an understanding of other global cultures.”
With tech, learning can transport you into different realms
Just in case you happened to share our obsession with Dr. Seuss when you were a child, something he wrote…
“The more you learn, the more places you shall go.”
…feels brilliantly relevant here. But now, children don’t have to learn first and then go somewhere: you can be transported into new dimensions by the learning experience itself.
The full potential of EdTech has yet to be realised, but it’s already enabling things like:
Learning is a lifelong endeavour
As technology continues to evolve, learning isn’t just something you do – it’s becoming a state of mind that’s necessary to be successful in global society.
Peck said, “As the jobs of the future emerge, we all need to become lifelong learners. Immersive technology will help individuals level-up into the new roles being created by the tsunami of automation and technology.”
We’ll make that commitment right now: we pledge to keep learning for the rest of our lives. Are you with us?

This week we’re also quoting Tim Draper (Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist, Founder of Draper Associates)
What Draper said:
“...the great entrepreneurs, when they hear that question, they lean forward in their seats and they say because I worked with this company before and they didn’t get it, they didn’t understand, and now I’m going to show the entire world how awesome this can be.”
What question?
Why?
That’s it. That’s the question. Why this business? Why this idea?
And the why will help us keep learning.
When it comes to learning – and continuing to learn for the rest of our lives – Why? is the most important question.
As well as being the question that Draper recognises as the giveaway of a great entrepreneur, it’s also the one question that will keep you on track on a lifelong learning journey. Which makes sense – because the entrepreneurs we know are learning, growing, and adapting to the world around them all the time.
So let’s never stop asking why.
