What if this was happening in a school instead of a museum?  What if the teacher meant for it happen?  Was counting on it?  What would it to do for her class?  What would it do for the school?  What would it do for the whole way we structure learning?

What if this were 1000 girls?  Or 5000 girls?  Different races, cultures, classes from all over the world doing this at exactly the same moment?  What would it do for the girls?  And what would the ripple effect be for the rest of us?

What if this were, instead, 5000 young urban black men?  How would it change them?  How would it change their families?  How would it change Oakland?  And Chicago?  And Newark?  And D.C.?  And…

What if this little girl was you in your job?  What if it were our politicians and corporate leaders?  What would it do for our workplaces and our systems? What would it do for creativity and innovation?  What would it do to our interactions with each other?

What would it do for hearts?
