I am so glad you linked the expression of our genius to child learning and to the emotional intelligence that we develop as musicians -- something I have been defending on my resume for years (especially when the New York Times recently slammed a cappela singers, questioning why a bunch of Harvard people would waste their time singing close harmony with the Krokodiloes, not getting that harmony IS the bottom line!) Thanks especially for celebrating Alan Kay and simultaneously giving us a clear HOW TO, so that "normal folk" (as if there are any!) don't feel discouraged but rather empowered that they too can invent the future. The myth that genius is hereditary and the eugenic thinking it fostered is still one of the worst afflictions the human race must cope with. By making a tribute to a genius an empowering and hope giving learning experience for the so-called "other 90%" you have proven that Game Changers is truly in the business of making a difference!
