The aim of this paper is to mold and materialize the future of learning. The paper introduces a Modular Cognitive Educator System (MCES), which aims to help people learn cognitive and ethical capabilities to face one of the indirect impacts of the robot revolution, namely, its impact on the educational system. MCES discusses the importance of agile mindset in future learning processes, which is extended by the inclusion of other values and skills such as effort, perseverance, adaptability, and creativity. Subsequently, MCES interconnects new age technologies and education to induce new approaches in thinking and learning.
