Building the 21st century classroom | Scott Millar | TEDxUQ

Starting his entrepreneurial journey at age 14, Scott Millar is on a mission to make learning about new and emerging technologies fun, engaging and, most of all, creative! After finding a disconnect between the technology he was using in the industry and the technology he was learning about in school, Scott has developed some fantastic ways for teachers to implement technology in the classroom in a simple and creative manner. Starting his entrepreneurial journey at age 14, Scott Millar is now the 18-year-old CEO and founder of Brisbane-based startup BOP Industries, which is on a mission to make learning about new and emerging technologies fun, engaging and, most of all, creative! Growing his company from selling keyrings at local markets to now running workshops and events across the country, he is a passionate advocate for young entrepreneurs and all things technology. Along his journey, however, Scott found a disconnect between the technology he was using in the industry and the technology he was learning about in school. Scott looks forward to reflecting on how technology is currently taught, looking at the good, the bad, and where we can improve. As a student and educator, Scott has found some fantastic ways for teachers to implement technology in the classroom in a fun, simple, and creative manner and looks forward to sharing his knowledge. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
