Welcome from HP and Intel

There is a great deal of discussion between business leaders, policy makers, and school leadership about defining the skills needed for the 21st century. How do those skills differ from previous generations? How does curriculum and teaching techniques need to change? What role will and should technology play in that process?

HP and Intel are working with education leaders to find answers to these questions and help improve education in the 21st century.
