Community Room: The Importance Of Being Stupid: Doing Impossible Things Wrong

Wednesday September 9, 2026 13:00 - 13:15 EDT

Room 513de | Palais des Congrès de Montréal

The most human value we gain from doing project work is not in getting it right, but in getting it wrong. Rowan Bruce will talk about the value of taking on impossible jobs, not to succeed, but to grow, and how that applies to teaching the next generation.
