For a mix of global perspective earned from 100+ cities of real-world conversations, some math spark, and touch of comedy, join Professor Po-Shen Loh for a wildly original experience that’s part education seminar, part stand-up act, and 100% unlike anything you’ve seen.

This FREE seminar is meant for parents, teachers, students, and for ANYONE who cares about what's coming in The Next 100 Years.
