Imagine a world of possibilities. A world where global communities have equitable opportunities to collaborate globally with world-class researchers, educators, health professionals, designers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, developers and engineers. Where humanity is considered first in every approach.
Where students use the Metaverse to discover, explore and master new understandings of using technology for good. A world where youth and adults are using best-in-class hardware and software to attempt the impossible and drive meaningful change. We’re building this world. We can build it together.
