Globalization, Robots & You: Helping Students Navigate Tomorrow’s Economy



Teachers will gain access to Marginal Revolution University’s (MRU) latest curriculum—Globalization, Robots & You—a 5-day curriculum that helps students make more informed decisions about education and careers based on the projected impact of globalization and automation on the U.S. economy’s rapidly changing workforce.  More specifically, students relate the history and impact of globalization to their own lives using the blockbuster Avengers movie, play an economics-trends guessing game on creative destruction, and apply globalization’s economics and personal finance concepts to future education and career choices.
