[Via Zoom] Designing for Difficulty: Building Resilience Through Intentional Inefficiency

Thursday July 10, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am PDT

Resilience is more than just “bouncing back”, it’s a skill set made up of distinct, buildable components… and it’s essential for academic, social, and emotional growth. Yet technological advances and sociological shifts have caused many of the challenges that used to sharpen those skills to be numbed or bypassed. Drawing from neuroscience, education, and real-life experiences, we’ll explore how “intentional inefficiencies” can strengthen adaptability and lead to more successful learning outcomes.
