AI, automation, and sustainability are reshaping how the world is designed and built—and today’s students will enter a workforce defined by these forces. Educators will explore how emerging technologies and human skills intersect in real-world design and make careers. Drawing on industry research and classroom-ready examples, participants will learn which technical and durable skills are most in demand, including, and how stronger connections between education and industry can expand opportunities for students. Educators will leave with practical strategies for helping students see clear, motivating pathways from classroom learning to future careers.  Presented by: Matt Cardinale
