Two Audiences, One Mission
From keynote stages and conferences to school assemblies and children's festivals, Wylde Scott brings imagination to every kind of audience.
Wylde Scott
Wylde Scott is an author, speaker, and the founder of The Imagination Project, a movement dedicated to protecting and developing imagination in the next generation. He writes and speaks about a single idea: as artificial intelligence takes over more of what machines do well, the uniquely human capacity to imagine becomes our most valuable advantage.
His book Raising Dreamers was named one of Forbes’ eight essential AI books for educators and received an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards (Education). He speaks to parents, educators, school leaders, and organizations — never anti-technology, always pro-human.
"We don't need to compete with machines. We need to raise dreamers."

Raising Dreamers was named one of Forbes’ “8 AI Books Published In 2025 That Every Educator Needs On Their Shelf” — the only parenting-focused title on the list.
Raise Dreamers: Why Imagination Is the Last Human Advantage
As artificial intelligence surpasses human capability, what remains uniquely human? Through storytelling, humor, and a powerful real-life encounter, Wylde reveals a critical truth: children believe in possibility, while adults default to limitation. This talk challenges how we educate, parent, and lead in a world reshaped by AI.
Wylde Scott speaks to parents, educators, school leaders, and organizations about raising resilient, imaginative kids in a world being reshaped by artificial intelligence. Drawing on his book Raising Dreamers — named one of Forbes’ eight essential AI books for educators and an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards (Education) — Wylde makes the case that imagination isn't a soft skill — it's the survival skill of the 21st century.

Every Child Has a Story Worth Imagining
What if meeting a storybook character could inspire a child to believe more deeply in themselves?
Wylde Scott brings the magic of imagination to life through interactive storytelling, humor, music, audience participation, and unforgettable moments that captivate young audiences. More than a school assembly, each visit invites children into a world where kindness, curiosity, courage, and creativity become exciting adventures they can carry long after the presentation ends.
Through engaging stories and playful interaction, children discover that reading opens doors, imagination creates possibilities, and every one of them has the ability to dream, create, and make a difference in the world.
Designed for elementary schools, libraries, literacy events, and family festivals, Wylde Scott's presentations encourage children to laugh, participate, believe in themselves, and fall in love with the magic of books.
