Future Lab: Tomorrow's School
Welcome to the school of the future! Futurist tots will love this amazing primer on the school of tomorrow while exploring how students will interact with technology and how self-driving school buses will take kids home from school. This is the third title in the innovative series Future Lab, where babies and tots will learn how their world will look a few years from now.
The day starts early at the future school, where students arrive on electric bikes and solar-powered scooters, and teachers get help from robots in homeroom! Digital screen walls display the day's information and lessons, while students use tablets to follow along. This is not the old schoolhouse of the past, but a modern school building where students can interact with other kids around the world in virtual spaces. Smart vending machines, e-trashcans that convert waste to energy, and self-driving electric school buses are just a few of the things babies and toddlers will learn about in the school of the future. The last spread of the book contains a simple glossary where tots and parents can read the definitions of some more advanced terms.
