Let's Talk About It: The Next 100 Years | Raleigh, NC | Aug 25, 7pm

In the age of AI, knowledge is cheap. If AI can write your essays and answer your test questions, what actually makes you valuable? This talk flips the script on everything we’ve been told about success. It’s not about grades. It’s about guts.

For a mix of global perspective earned from 100+ cities of real-world conversations, some math spark, and touch of comedy, join Professor Po-Shen Loh for a wildly original experience that’s part education seminar, part stand-up act, and 100% unlike anything you’ve seen.

This FREE seminar is meant for parents, teachers, students, and for ANYONE who cares about what's coming in The Next 100 Years.
