A nice overview of some of the higher education work we’ve done here at Hanson Dodge Creative.

We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist . . .
in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

This incredible video is a crash course in understanding how technology affects young people’s lives and development today. Originally a PowerPoint presentation for a 2006 Arapahoe High School faculty meeting in Centennial, Colorado, it went viral last year, getting over 5 million views in 5 months. The number has grown to 10 million+ since then.

This new version is eight minutes of sheer information design genius, bringing to life what would otherwise be a very dry lecture on technology, education and economics.

It’s engaging, frightening and surprising all at once. Well worth the eight minutes.

So as not to be accused of taking ourselves too seriously, we thought we’d share a fun little internal project that debuted at our Annual Holiday Party this past weekend. It’s a short film that parodies filmmaker Ken Burns’ style of documentary. There are a few insider jokes, but overall it pokes some fun at the industry we’re so blessed to be a part of. We give you: American Industry: From Ironworker to Knowledge Worker.
