Introducing the Spix Foundation

Helping K12 Joyfully Surf the Wave of Change 

The Spix Foundation seeks to help today’s Kindergarteners—who will graduate from K12 as the Class of 2038—Joyfully Surf the Wave of Change. It does this by helping to improve the antifragility of K12’s technological infrastructure, and by making it easy for the K12 community to adopt those improvements.

The Spix Foundation's core assumptions are:

• Over the next 15-20 years, the pace of change will accelerate rapidly, driven by an unprecedented Wave of technological disruptions;

• The Wave will bring new challenges and new opportunities, especially to the Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs);

• Because of this Wave, today's Kindergarteners—the Class of 2038—will graduate from K12 into a very different world than the one for which today's K12 is educating them;

• Maximizing antifragility enables individuals and institutions to Joyfully Surf the Wave of Change.

We at the Spix Foundation are committed to helping the LMICs’ Class of 2038 and its K12 institutions to Joyfully Surf the Wave of Change through Project RESPECT and the Class of 2038 Project.

Future blog posts will elaborate on the assumptions above, how we hope that the Foundation's Projects will address the concerns that they raise, and how you can help.
