What can educators learn from the way museums design experiences?

Join us for a conversation with Kristin Alford and Michael Radke, co-executive directors of The Ubuntu Lab, as we explore how museum thinking, rooted in storytelling, systems design, and shared humanity, can help us reimagine how learning happens. With deep experience in futures-focused exhibit creation and cross-cultural engagement, Kristin and Mike are building what they call a “public understanding of humanity.”

Together, we’ll look at how intentionally designed, immersive experiences spark curiosity, deepen reflection, and build community, and what that might mean for classrooms, schools, and learning spaces of all kinds. Whether you’re an educator, designer, or systems thinker, this is a chance to reframe how we think about learning, belonging, and the human future.

The Big Think is a live, monthly conversation series featuring noted educators and changemakers dedicated to reimagining what school could be. Hosted by What School Could Be’s Global Knowledge Curator, Mel Ching, each discussion sparks fresh ideas, deep reflection, and meaningful dialogue. Historically, the chat is alive with audience reactions, resource-sharing, and actionable insights. Join us on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook to be part of the conversation.
