Today is World Teachers’ Day — a global event launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1994. My guest is a forward-thinking teacher that spends a great deal of time preparing the next generation for the challenges of the new world and inspiring them to reach farther.

Dr. Mark Wagner’s focus is disrupting traditional education modules. He is dedicated to inspiring students to enter STEAM fields and rethink our world using space as a foundation. He wants to take education into the next era and off planet.

We talk about his new book, Space Education: Preparing Students for Humanity’s Multi-planet future, his new educational program – Ares Learning, and his efforts to inspire young women with SpacePrize.
