Ortal GreenOrtal is a passionate educator with a mission to empower teachers to create tomorrow's innovators in their classrooms.She started her career as a computer scientist and worked for top global hi-tech companies such as IBM and Mercury for several years Working at the forefront of this cutting-edge industry helped her understand the impact of technology on the future of work.Additionally, as Ortal watched her three sons' journeys through primary school, she realised they were not being prepared for this future.While Ortal saw the movement towards STEM as going in the right direction, important skills such as creative thinking and the development of an innovative mindset, to name a few, were being left out. Having a strong technological background and being a Design Thinking practitioner, she was able to see that there was a need and a way to bridge this gap.Therefore, Ortal co-founded Glittering Minds and created a programme for primary schools, PBL and Beyond. This programme provides the needed paradigm shift in primary-level education by introducing Design Thinking as the new pedagogy.Ortal has been a teacher educator for a few years now. She feels privileged to have the opportunity to guide, support, and empower teachers to create a deeper, authentic, innovative, student-centred educational setting in their classrooms. It brings her happiness to see firsthand how participation in PBL and Beyond transforms both teachers' and students' ways of thinking and creates a learning environment that meets the twenty-first-century needs.
