As the 21st century continues to unfold, how will the nature of government change to meet the problems that will be faced by generations to come?

The event’s keynote panel discussion at the Paramount Theater, “Preparing Youth for an Unknowable Future,” featured Steven Olikara, founding president of the Millennial Action Project; Laura Weidman Powers, co-founder and CEO of Code 2040; and University of Virginia student Keaton Wadzinski, co-founder of ReinventED Lab.
