From Everything Electric Show.
In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert welcomes Dr. Cathy Rogers, a co-creator of Scrapheap Challenge and author of the new book, Future Vision: Stories of Our Brilliant Tomorrow. This beautifully illustrated book takes children on a journey to the year 2070, envisioning a world transformed for the better by technology, sustainability, and global initiatives. From traffic-free cities and carbon-free energy to eco-friendly homes and space exploration, readers are encouraged to imagine the exciting possibilities that await. The book aims to inspire children to dream of a brighter future they can help create whilst helping grownups to do away with the often doom and gloom manner in which we talk about the future. Join these two friends for a wonderful meander through the story behind Scrapheap, the Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, AI, imagination, Cathy’s book and how to be excited about the future. Enjoy!
