Marc Prensky: How to destress college students

How to destress college students? Marc Prensky knows, he is an advocate for new and better ways of preparing all the 2 billion young people in the world—ways that better fit today’s young people and the world they live in. 20 years ago, his term “digital natives” re-framed an entire generation. Marc now applies his reframing skill —honed at the Boston Consulting Group—to all things related to young people. With new technology and AI, third millennium young people are becoming enormously powerful. His latest book, THIRD MILLENNIUM KIDS, explains what is missing from today’s education—imagination, self-knowledge and real-world accomplishment—and what kids need most—far more enthusiasm and far less stress. Marc holds degrees from Harvard, Yale, Middlebury, and Oberlin. In his keynotes and consulting, Marc offers new, refreshing takes on THIRD MILLENNIUM YOUNG PEOPLE. He adds “Measurable Positive Impact'”—a term I coined—to each of my projects, engagements, clients, and keynotes.

In episode 514 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Marc decided on Oberlin for his undergraduate experience, how we can let Third Millennium Kids make the world a better place, why he uses Third Millennium Kids over Gen Z, why it is a mistake to take their phones away, where the term “Digital Natives” came from, how we can destress college students, why AI is so important in the hands of Third Millennium Kids, how society can better respect and listen to Third Millennium Kids, and what are Symbiotic Human Hybrids.
