The Envirome Institute invites you to join us at The Filson Historical Society on March 18 for a talk by Emily Cherkin, The Screentime Consultant.  

Brains haven’t changed; technology has. Children haven’t changed; childhood has. In an era when young people’s mental health has prompted a Surgeon General’s warning, the average 8-year-old spends over seven hours per day on screens (outside of school), and schools regularly dole out iPads to kindergartners, how can we prepare children for a future that grows more technological by the day while preserving and protecting the skills and experiences we know children need to thrive? The answer is by reshaping schools using a Tech-intentional™ framework. 

A reception will be held from 4:30-5:25 pm with the lecture following from 5:30-6:30 pm.

Event is free but registration is required.
