The function of education is to teach one to think intensively

and to think critically

Martin Luther King

Critical thinking is the preeminent skill for the 21st century

American Association of Colleges and Universities

Since we don't know with any certainty what specific aptitudes

today's students will need tomorrow, we need to ensure they

have the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that

extend beyond any one technology or program
