Professional Learning with Conrad Wolfram

What skills do young people need in the era of computers and automation?

Conrad Wolfram physicist, mathematician and technologist, is Strategic Director and European Co-Founder/CEO of the Wolfram Group of companies. The Conrad WolframWolfram Group is driving innovation across data science, modelling and maths through technology and solutions. This includes the highly regarded Wolfram Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha Pro,  SystemModeler and Wolfram Programming Lab – available to all Victorian Secondary Schools.

Conrad is also widely known for his thought leadership in reforming education using modern technology. He founded computerbasedmath.org to fundamentally rethink and rebuild the mainstream maths education curriculum, introduce computational thinking and combine with coding how computers can be assumed. The resulting major change is now a worldwide force in re-engineering STEM.

Conrad Wolfram is visiting as a guest of the Department of Education and Training through Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership.
