Learn Whatever You Want; Teach Whatever You Know While Serving the World

Think of someone you know for whom the current educational system is not working.  Now imagine designing a customized educational experience for that person. For right now, you do not need to worry about money, transportation, or anything else that would get in the way of your creating a system to unleash her creativity and maximize her potential.

Imagine combining online education and games with activities in your communities.  Imagine your student being able to follow any thread of learning as far as she wants to and finding support anywhere along the journey.  Imagine great Coaches, either in person or virtual, who know how to motivate and support your student as she faces the inevitable challenges of any worthy venture.

Imagine that your student gets to be of service.  She gets to decide if she wants to do the service in person or online.  She could read to little kids, proofread documents for foreign English speakers or help weed in a community garden.

Any interest she has she can follow.  She can also teach anything she knows to anyone in the world who wants to learn what she knows.  It does not matter how old she is or where her student lives.

Now imagine that this process is all very, very simple.  She fills out a profile that is fun, inspiring, and helps her know herself better.  She chooses what she wants to learn and how she wants to learn it. Her choices, such as wanting to design a skateboard park, lead her to study subjects she never considered before, like engineering and math.

Now imagine this process continuing for a lifetime.  Your student could earn multiple graduate degrees if she wants or she could start her own business or NGO.  She continually gives back as she learns, both by teaching what she knows and serving in her community and all over the world.

Now imagine that all that is needed to make this dream come true for your student, and for everyone in the world, is a software program, an elegant algorithm that connects those who want to learn with those who have something to teach. Those who want to serve can easily find those who need help.  Philanthropists can easily find projects they want to finance, and great ideas can be incubated and implemented by people who love doing just that.

Imagine an emancipation of creativity all over the world.  Solutions to problems of energy, environmental healing, racism, depression, cancer, and blindness are discovered in cooperative games, in engineering camps, through entrepreneurial projects, and in people’s garages..

Imagine genius flowering all over the world as it has never before been allowed to flower.

Until now. Until Global U.
