And the upcoming series, asks how can we do medium density well? Bill McKay is a senior lecturer at the School of Architecture and Planning, University of Auckland.

1:25 Creating Leaders the Ad Astra Way

Josh Dahn is the principal of one of the most exclusive schools in the world. In 2014 he co-founded the LA-based Ad Astra School, with Elon Musk. And the pair set out to completely rethink education, and how kids learn, in order to create future leaders. The school uses synthesis projects to create an ethical framework, for students to think through contemporary conflicts in environmental policy, space exploration, government surveillance and education. Josh is speaking at The New Zealand Educators' Neuroscience Conference in May. He has a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and American Studies from Miami University and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Sea trekking combines swimming with snorkelling and freediving...with a little bit of camping thrown in for good measure!
