“If not all of us really understand what technology can do because we don't have access to it, that's a problem we need to design around. So that means making sure that concepts are are accessible and understandable for everyone. So I think, again, that means centering people and their understanding. I think that's really really important.Ariam Mogos : K12 Lab Futurist Fellow / Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford
