A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for student groups (aged 13-17) to learn directly from leading educators, dive into diverse cultures, build global connections, and take part in an exciting Innovation Challenge designed by Stanford Educators.
At its core, this experience is dedicated to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Participants in the Global Innovation Race do not merely learn; they flourish. Through genuine educational experiences, we kindle the flames of creativity and innovation. In 2023, our participants acquired the skills to become global innovators, conceiving solutions that will shape the future. It is an indelible journey of learning that is as profound as it is inspirational. During the Race, our students confronted global challenges head-on. They were guided by distinguished educators and esteemed industry experts, honing their design, social, and entrepreneurial proficiencies. Every participant departed with their own innovation portfolio, a testament to their growth and potential as future leaders.
Silicon Valley is not merely a location; it is a crucible of innovation. Our participants had the exclusive opportunity to draw inspiration from local technology titans such as Google, Tesla, Meta (Facebook), Apple, OpenAI, and more. These visits offered a window into the epicenter of innovation, reinforcing the notion that aspirations can materialize into reality.
Students will learn the fundamental skills of human-centered design, the right mindsets to understand human needs, the ability to switch between divergent and convergent thinking during the creative process, and the power of iteration to frame problems and develop solutions.
They’ll also experience “building to think” – a fundamental principle that allows us to bring our ideas to life and refine them in real-time.
In today’s technology-driven world, many students are lacking social skills. At Global Innovation Race, students will learn how to collaborate while building trust and safety in groups.
Learning to make space for vulnerability and transparency, they will begin to interact with reduced awkwardness and more openness leaving with an international network of lifelong friends and fellow innovators.
In a rapidly changing world, it’s crucial to know how to create compelling, sustainable value in any field we choose. The key is to think like an entrepreneur. By understanding potential markets, developing a strong value proposition, and creating a path to financial sustainability, students will be well on their way to success.
Students will also learn sales and marketing skills, so they’ll be able to effectively communicate the value of their ideas.
