In this episode of Sparking Genius, host Dianne Drew is joined by Vriti Saraf, educator, innovator, and co-founder of Ed3 DAO, to examine how Web3 technologies are reshaping learning experiences and educational access.

Vriti brings deep insight into how AI, blockchain, and decentralized platforms are creating more flexible, personalized, and equitable models of education. They explore critical topics, including learner agency, digital ownership, and how the role of teachers is evolving in an age where access to knowledge is ubiquitous but human connection remains essential.

Student-athletes face a unique challenge: maintaining high academic standards while committing to rigorous athletic schedules.

In this episode of Sparking Genius, host Dianne Drew sits down with John Pelin, Head of Athletics at Dwight School New York, and Kathryn McMahan, an 11th-grade student who competes on three varsity teams: soccer, swimming, and softball.
