the technology-forward municipality and the higher education cultivator of innovation has come to fruition with the new Georgia Tech Atrium at Peachtree Corners’ Curiosity Lab and Georgia TechPresident Ángel Cabrera cut the ribbon on this first-of-its-kind space “I actually came to this exact building with Georgia Tech’s former president in 2016 when we just began to think about what this partnership could be,” said Dene Sheheane president of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association so I’m excited to see it finally come together.” The opening of the GT Atrium in Peachtree Corners is the first of many planned collaborations to come between the school  and municipalities throughout the state and beyond An initiative of the Center for 21st Century Universities at the Georgia Tech College of Lifetime Learning each GT Atrium will offer a space for the institute’s faculty alumni and partners to advance their academic and professional interests in the country or region that it serves as well as opportunities to engage and associate with Georgia Tech interim dean of the College of Lifetime Learning agreed that Peachtree Corners was the right place to start the Atrium project “Support and leadership from cities like yours that both fuel the growth and give our next generation of technology leaders what they need to lead their projects and to be successful is the ultimate expression of what a university especially a research university like Georgia Tech Baker went on to explain why such an endeavor is necessary “Today’s world is changing pretty rapidly and one of the biggest changes is learning itself,” he said they’re working longer and they’re changing jobs more often than ever before.” intense career and technological disruptions and although a degree is a good foundation for many careers the individual must continue to learn for as many as 50 years past graduation “How can a four-year degree last more than half a century in a person’s lifetime geographically dispersed companies and communities across our state need ways for workers to develop “Our universities and schools — all of our learning systems must adapt.” Instead of attacking the problem piecemeal leaders at Georgia Tech sought to address the problem as a “coherent whole.” “The institute set out to better connect to our communities amplify our impact and to tie it all together,” said Baker with the first new college at Georgia Tech in 35 years and the first Georgia Tech Atrium meant to extend our campus into communities in new ways.” universities have been focused on research and study on teaching and on founding colleges of education that improve the discipline of pedagogy and the transfer of knowledge “The College of Lifetime Learning brings a new discipline to learning itself empowering the person through research technology and a lifelong access to enable agency over one’s lives It’s the other side of the equation — the person side,” he said “Rather than influencing stages of learning separately the College of Lifetime Learning comprehensively applies research and technology to empower people We’re focused on operating through K-12 through research and through professional education We build on the experiences across all stages of learning and are adding faculty to develop and teach in this new field.” Georgia Tech has also vowed to apply the practical technology and deep research to empower people with access we hope to ensure expanded access to high-quality education so all learners regardless of their background or the stage of life or career “This will improve our system and carry the disciplines and knowledge across our state and world.” One vehicle to help do that is the GT Atrium — a reinvention of Georgia Tech’s physical presence on a global yet localized scale a communal space where we can contribute to the community even as we serve our own learners and alumni,” he said upskilling and learning opportunities to communities.” He reiterated that none of these perceived advancements would be possible without strong community support The dream that started with Peachtree Corners founder Paul Duke continues Georgia Tech President Cabrera was quick to point out that the institution doesn’t exist just for a few “We’re not the Atlanta Institute of Technology or the Buckhead Institute of Technology — we’re the Georgia Institute of Technology,” he said the value that we create for the state that we serve.” It’s no secret that Georgia Tech attracts — and produces — talent that researches and creates ideas that drive the innovation economy in this state But it’s not going to rest on those accolades “We’re working on some big bets that seem a little overwhelming we’re delivering on them,” said Cabrera One goal is doubling the number of degrees awarded every year “We are almost two-thirds towards that goal,” he said “We’re right now the fastest growing university in the country and … the largest university in the state We’re the third largest recipient of federal grants for research in the nation.” “That’s a big deal because we all pay into the federal budget with our income tax It’s only fair that we bring our fair share of those resources back here And many of the ideas that we produce end up turning into innovation startups that activate the economy of our state,” he said Georgia Tech wants to continue to create one of the most thriving energizing hubs of entrepreneurship and innovation right here in the Peach State How do we support entrepreneurs that can really drive the innovation and knowledge economy?” he asked Cabrera announced another goal — Georgia Tech must have an impact on every county in the state “What if we developed in key locations across our state?” he asked buildings — it doesn’t have to be a big campus but a space where entrepreneurs can come and receive the support that they need.” He ended with a sharp gaze sweeping the room “This pro-business environment that we have is essential to Georgia’s success and it’s why we’ve been named the number one state in the country for business for 11 consecutive years,” said Gov “But it also means we’re delivering real impact for the people of our state.” Kemp said the state has announced 193,000 new jobs and private sector partners have created more than $90 billion of investment “These projects choose Georgia because they recognize the unique assets that our state can offer including a talent base that is supported by institutions like Georgia Tech,” he said after business leaders made it apparent that there was a great need for qualified workers to fill really thousands of jobs that are coming to our state but many that will be created over the next four or five years.” have taken great steps forward in efforts to build that workforce of tomorrow the largest direct college admission program in the country “I was proud to report last fall that following the launch of Georgia Match we saw an increase in enrollment of all our higher education institutions including a 6% increase at USG (University System of Georgia) schools,” he said He also mentioned that the state legislature passed the Top State for Talent Act will better align K-12 and higher education curriculum with the needs of businesses in this state technology and corporate hubs created at least 4,400 new jobs including 400 at Cargill’s Atlanta office hub Other announcements included insurance company AIG opening a new innovation hub in DeKalb County that can accommodate more than 1,000 employees and California-based TriNet announcing a 150,000-square-foot office in Dunwoody creating 750 new jobs “The Wall Street Journal recognized Georgia Tech as the second best public college in the nation and top 10 amongst all higher education institutions,” Gov “They specifically rated Tech high in the value it added to its graduate salaries in comparison to the cost of attending.” He closed by saying “We’re fortunate to have a team here in Georgia made up of government business and educational leaders committed to working together to deliver results for our people I want to again thank everyone here for your work and that mission and say congratulations again on today’s milestone.” The Georgia Tech Atrium, developed and overseen by the Center for 21st Century Universities (C21U),

just placed 1st at the Georgia state competition and have been invited to represent Georgia at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in Orlando in June.   Some people might never have heard of Odyssey of the Mind (OotM) or do not understand exactly what it is, so here is the official description as well as a link to the Odyssey website for anyone who would like to know more “[OotM] is an international creative problem-solving program that engages students in their learning by allowing their knowledge and ideas to come to life in an exciting and are able to recognize and explore their true potential OotM proves that students can have fun while they learn.”   The competitions consist of the performance of an original skit based on the exact set of required elements given (the “long-term problem”) as well as the performance of the “spontaneous problem,” in which teams are asked to perform random tasks on the spot with no prior preparation such as creating a bridge out of unique materials that can actually support weight.  So and math (STEM) with the arts (STEAM)!  It also requires a lot of teamwork and effective communication.   “The Pinckneyville MS team is made up
