Deb Miles interview: from 1920s Japan to our robotic future!

By Administrator | 25 January 2017

UK-based library consultant Ethan Ohs recently interviewed our very own Deb Miles, Executive Manager of Regional Partnerships, to talk about library innovation, building professional networks, and looking the future square in the eye.

Deb introduces Ethan to Ozobots and our Ozofarm game, asking provocative questions like “Will farmers be our next generation of coders?”

Ethan reflects on how the purpose of farming hasn’t changed since the 1920s; however the way we do it, and the way we prepare our children for the future, is constantly evolving.

Ethan discovered the work of our team at SLQ after reading about the Regional Partnerships team in Library as Incubator.
