CHAPTER

The Origin Story of Big History

There are over a thousand American schools teaching it now and about a hundred Australian schools. We want to produce a junior version, a primary school version of big history. It's already being taught in one of schools in Sydney. For primary school kids, it's absolutely wonderful. They glom on to it just like that. And then we'll build an upper level. And eventually you want to start translating it into more and more languages. I would love to see this origin story, big history, taught in every high school, in every country in the world - treated as something that's as fundamental to education as maths is or history, literature, anything you name.
