Scot Sutherland, Ph.D. Years ago Scot M. Sutherland realized that the most important questions are not the ones we can easily answer, but the ones we must live with. How do people think and learn? How can we converse with God? How do arts and sciences influence beliefs and values? After nearly half a century as an educator, learning scientist, technologist and writer, Scot continues to pursue questions like these.
Insights that lead to more questions led him serve in classrooms from second grade through high school, college and graduate school. He coached soccer, wrote sports and opinion columns for local newspapers, developed systems integration, learning technology, fraud analytics and semantic analytics for companies like Disney Software, eFishantSea, Inc., Rebol Technologies, UC Davis, Pondera Solutions and more. His ground breaking work in constraint-based analytics measured algebra learning without tests. The fraud detection analytics he developed at Pondera Solutions produced more than $50 Million in business impact, winning the Sacramento Area Innovation Award for Software in 2017.
“When Evan Hall introduced me to House Museum, it immediately resonated. Artistic expression clearly foreshadows and informs culture, galvanizing creativity and innovation. Connecting the past with the present sows into the future. House Museum does that.”
