The revolution accelerated the demand for new replace able workers on assembly lines and in maintenance. A body of knowledge (Bo K) was first developed to fit all students in their education. This one-fi ts-all (1FA) model of education is still being used in our educational cur ricula.\n\nAlthough this 1FA model has been improving due to successive in dustrial revolutions\, continuous developments in computing\, machine lear ning and automation have introduced new and even unexpected conditions. Jo bs that require repetitious operations have already been taken over by rob ots. More complicated jobs like driving vehicles are being replaced by sel f-driving machines. Jobs dedicated to data analytics are being taken over by new classes of computing. As a result\, one job for a lifetime is becom ing more of a dream. In fact\, many young professionals (YP) will have thr ee to ten jobs in their lifetimes.\n\nIn the past\, knowledge doubling occ urred over several lifetimes\, but is now doubling in few years or even mo nths. Thus\, teaching one curriculum to be used in a single lifetime is no longer appropriate.\n\nHow can the educational system change from the old one-fits-all to an agile one-fits-one (1F1) approach? The system will hav e to be personalized\, adaptive predictive\, and continuous in order to ma tch the diversity of individual abilities\, styles of learning\, and the c urrent gaps in knowledge. It should be implemented with new concepts and t ools. We envisage that the new personalized system of education should be sufficiently agile and interactive so that it could be evolving in its sym biosis with humans. For that to happen\, we must coexist with symbiotic au tonomous cognitive systems\, specifically involving digital twins [Kins019 ]\, [DKFK018]. Schools\, colleges and universities will have to change fun damentally. Some of the changes are already happening\, others are develop ing.\n\nFor example\, the role of experience in education has been growing in importance. The final-year capstone projects have been in place for a number of years now. Experiential learning is being developed at different levels. However\, the experience of seasoned professionals (SP) is not tr ansferred to the educational system yet. This body of experience (BoX) sho uld augment the BoK\, and be used in closing the educational loop.\n\nAnot her fundamental advancement must occur in the outreach to the next generat ion of scientists\, technologists\, engineers\, artists\, and mathematicia ns (STEAM) in high-schools\, primary schools and pre-schools. This outreac h must also evolve from direct contacts with students to indirect impact t hrough teachers.\n\nThis talk also presents one of such tools: teaching te achers how to develop\, implement\, and test a tiny smart robot. This exam ple focuses on how to teach the concepts\, while enjoying the experiential learning.\n\nReferences\n[Kins019] Witold Kinsner\, "Towards evolving sym biotic education based on digital twins\," Mondo Digitale\, vol. 80\, Feb 2019\, 14 pages.\nhttp://mondodigitale.aicanet.net/2019-1/articoli/11_MD80 _Towards_Evolving_Symbiotic_Education_Based_on_Digital_Twins%20.pdf\nhttp: //mondodigitale.aicanet.net/ultimo/index.xml\n\n[DKFK018] S.
