InnovatED - Monthly Meetup - Oct 2026

​Join us for the 3rd event by InnovatED:
“The Future of School: Rethinking the Learning Experience”

​Education is changing rapidly. From new school models and project-based learning to technology, AI, entrepreneurship, career readiness, and personalized student pathways, the traditional idea of school is being reimagined.

​This panel will explore what the future of school could look like when we move beyond one-size-fits-all learning and begin designing experiences that are more relevant, engaging, flexible, and connected to the real world.

​Our panelists will discuss how schools can better prepare students for the future, what learning environments should look like, how educators and founders are building new models, and what role innovation can play in creating stronger outcomes for students.

​This conversation is for educators, school leaders, founders, parents, community partners, and anyone who cares about the future of education in Houston.

​Panelists:
David Wakefield — Founder CEO, Sibme/MLH
Takisha Bolden-Gastile — Founder & Head of School, HomeSTEM Academy Private School, TEDX Garden Oaks Blvd ED, Camelback Ventures Fellow
Ramon Moss — Nationally Recognized Principal, Carnegie Vanguard High School
