Future Lab: Tomorrow’s School

The day starts early at the future school, where students arrive on electric bikes and solar-powered scooters, and teachers get help from robots in homeroom! Digital screen walls display the day's information and lessons, while students use tablets to follow along. This is not the old schoolhouse of the past, but a modern school building where students can interact with other kids around the world in virtual spaces. Smart vending machines, e-trashcans that convert waste to energy, and self-driving electric school buses are just a few of the things babies and toddlers will learn about in the school of the future. The last spread of the book contains a simple glossary where tots and parents can read the definitions of some more advanced terms.
