My Childhood Dreams
 
 
 
 
 
 
My Childhood Dreams Being in zero gravity Playing in the NFL Authoring an article in the World Book encyclopedia Being Captain Kirk Winning stuffed animals Being a Disney Imagineer
Being in zero gravity
 
The “vomit comet”
Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things
 
 
Football Dream: play in the NFL Coach Graham practice with no football fundamentals him riding me all practice Coach Setliff Power of enthusiasm To this day, I am most comfortable on a football field
I Never Made it to the NFL But football got me where I am today Fundamentals & Hard Work “ Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted” Most of what we learn, we learn indirectly (or by “head fake”)

It’s cool to meet your boyhood idol.

Being an Imagineer
 
 
 
Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things
1991: VR on Five Dollars a Day CHI ‘91, and Tom Furness asks a question…
 
 
Jon Snoddy I had to brief the Secretary  of Defense Disney’s Aladdin project Lunch with Jon… “  But you're in the business of telling stuff, and we're in the business of keeping secrets” He taught me: “wait, and people will surprise you.”
Our Villain; but all’s well that ends well
Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things

Alice The Infinitely Scalable Dream Factory And I guess this makes me the mad hatter…
Alice Novel way to teach Computer Programming Kids make movies and games; the “head fake” is that they are learning to program Over 1 million downloads, 8 textbooks, 10% of US colleges using right now
Alice is my Professional Legacy Helping  millions  of kids have fun while learning something hard v3.0 will release in 2008, in Java, with characters from the best-selling PC game in history:  The Sims Can’t mention everyone, but… Dennis Cosgrove is building it Wanda Dann, Steve Cooper, Don Slater are developing the pedagogy Caitlin Kelleher is going to hit the home run with middle schoolers
Lessons Learned
The Roles of Parents, Mentors, and Students
 
My Dad, age 80
 
 
 
 
 
My Mom The theory qualifier My son, the doctor…
 
 
 
 
Other people who help us Teachers Mentors Friends Colleagues
Andy van Dam Mythical creature Dutch uncle-d me my sophomore year Made me go to graduate school
My “Bosses”:  Respect authority while questioning it
We learn from our students The best “head fake” of all time – Caitlin’s idea about storytelling in Alice
More Lessons Learned
President Cohon’s Advice Tell them about having  FUN Like a fish giving a talk about the importance of water
Decide if you’re Tigger or Eeyore
Never Lose the Child-like Wonder
Help others Jessica Hodgins: The best gift ever Denny Proffitt: Forgotten more than I’ll ever know MK Haley: Limit case of my large family theory “ It’s kind of fun to do the impossible” “ Professor boy”
Loyalty is a two-way street
 
Never Give Up Brown University – didn’t get in. Carnegie Mellon for Graduate School – didn’t get in. Meeting with Nico
How to Get People to Help You You can’t get there alone, and I believe in Karma Tell the truth Be earnest Apologize when you screw up Focus on others, not yourself (an example…)
Brick walls let us show our dedication
Don’t bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap
Get a feedback loop; and  listen  to it!
Show Gratitude ETC admissions… How can you do this?
Don’t complain; just work harder.
Important Advice Be good at something: it makes you valuable Work hard … “what’s your  secret ?” Find the best in everybody; no matter how you have to wait for them to show it Be prepared: “luck” is where preparation meets opportunity
Today’s Talk My childhood dreams Enabling the dreams of others Lessons learned: how  you  can achieve your dreams or enable the dreams of others
How to achieve your dreams Have you figured out the head fake?
How to achieve your dreams Have you figured out the head fake? How to lead your life
