At Risk of Greatness: Reimagining Youth Outcomes Through the Intersection of Art and Technology

by Carlos Carpizo

Overview

Will limiting our screen time decrease anxiety and improve connection with others? At Risk of Greatness is a book about a movement that is using new approaches to developing 21st century skills and abilities and, with it, a better life for disengaged young adults and communities.

In this book, you'll learn:

• About the importance of art to maintain our humanity in this age of accelerations and its intersection with technology.

• How smartphones are creating a slingshot effect with advanced technology.

• That a success mindset is vital to growth, regardless of your background.
