What if the most important skills your child could learn in school had nothing to do with textbooks?
In this episode of Smart Growth Rocket, Francesca Cadhit from TopClassEdge.com sits down with Lucas Chang, Founder and Director of Y2 Entrepreneurship Labs, to explore how problem-based learning and entrepreneurship can help students develop skills like critical thinking, empathy, and confidence - skills that matter no matter what career path they choose.
Lucas shares stories from the classroom, challenges he’s faced bringing innovation into schools, and his philosophy that entrepreneurship is about solving problems, not just starting businesses. Whether you're a parent, student, or educator, this episode is packed with insights on how to help the next generation think creatively, act boldly, and believe in themselves.
