I connected with Linda Keane after reading a few of her published articles on the subject of ‘Design Education’.  She is Professor of Architecture & Environmental Design At The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an eLearning Entrepreneur with the NEXT.cc. She promotes environmental education awareness within the context of a STEAM curricular framework.  This episode is really different as when we spoke, she shared her screen with me and had an entire presentation that illustrates the situations and concepts that she was discussing.  The video of this episode is available on my YouTube channel which is linked in the show notes.

If you would like to connect with Linda or check out the work that we talk about, head over to her website https://www.next.cc/ where the resources, tools, articles, and so on that you will hear about are located!  Again, the show notes for this episode will have links to many of the items that we discuss.
