OUR VISION
We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live, work and relate to one another, which the World Economic Forum now calls The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
To us, this is a call to action. It is a vision for developing, diffusing, and governing innovation in ways that foster a more empowering, collaborative, and sustainable foundation for social and economic development, built around shared values of the common good, human dignity, and intergenerational stewardship.
These challenges we face today require a fundamental change on how we prepare students for their adult lives. We envision an education system that enables them to learn how to be creative, that having ideas is important, what it takes to bring an idea to life and learn this by collaborating and respecting each other’s talents.
Our Mission
To bring our unique, multi-award winning and proven MyMachine 3-step methodology around the globe, to strong local partnerships of primary, secondary and higher education, foundations, businesses, organisations, government and communities.
To make an impact on all students involved by bringing them 21st century skills that will serve them for life. When students see that what’s happening in the classroom can impact the real-world, they see their futures in a whole new light. They learn how they can contribute to society, rather then just be a consumer of it.
To make an impact on teachers and professors involved and show them how, through project-based learning in an open education context, they can contribute to better the education system.
To make an impact on communities around the world by enabling young people to drive their own futures, to become the self-motivated, problem solving, creative, team workers that companies and organisations are looking for or to create their own start-up (profit or social-profit).
