Education Rethunk, Part 6: Crossing Cultural Divides in a Rowboat

Bruce MacKenzie is a shipwright. He builds boats. But he also builds young people’s interest in learning by thinking about their culture, and about what it really means to be engaged in something. This is the sixth installment in the WhoWeAm series on education seen through the lens of culture.
