Using science and mathematics to capture the imagination of young minds, Boris Berenfeld, president and CEO of International Laboratory of Advanced Education Technologies, is a champion of schools around the world wanting to craft a new approach to learning that combines new technologies and bold curricula to bring these topics to life. Berenfeld’s London-based consultancy and technology provider seeks to reinvent teaching and learning in emerging felds like life sciences, nanotechnology, engineering and robotics.

When Everyone is a Mobile Historian, Everyone is a Lifelong Learner
Collaborative, data-driven, technology-based inquiry has proven to be a superior learning strategy over traditional textbooks memorization and pre-canned labs. However, the constructivist, project-based inquiry approach has been mostly province of the physical sciences. The Red Dot Memories Project is the pioneering initiative to apply constructivist pedagogy to the learning of history. Developed by the non-profit Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center in the Ukraine, in collaboration with ILAET, the project explored the use of mobile technologies in learning and teaching about the atrocities of the World War II in Ukraine and Easter Europe that are collectively known as the Holocaust by Bullets.
