@whereisnomad @OpenAI @Kasparov63 Oh, we're on it!
P.S. Any #RisingGen wanna play? HMU...

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

Emotion + Context, says @skosslyn will continue to be irreplaceable skills long after #web3's in our rear-view. So how might #emotionalintelligence, creative thinking, & communications become the MEASURABLE merit badges of the #risinggen'eration?

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

🚀 What happens when u combine a #risinggen'eration of #socialimpact + #civic doers w/ a "merit" system built around their impact+engagement?
Add the transparency, accountability, & community of #Web3? We're about to find out!
DM if you want to be part of the convo!

[Damon Kornhauser ~ www.nextus.ventures 🚀 @whereisnomad]

I deeply resonated w/ @BrintSteven's reframing that #civic engagement could be the new "merit" badge for #higherEd competitiveness.

How might we engage #web3 tools to support? POAKs, #token-based #scholarships, and more! #Socialimpact for the win. #ThinkGlobalActSocial

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

A dif' kind of #mondaymotivation! AMAZING examp. of user driven #design. An MRI is a big mechanical monster to a kid. @LEGO is distributing this kit to kids to help ease that anxiety. How can U creatively make your user's journey more fun? #dtk12chat https://t.co/arIIubzzoz

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

@nober_techclass @weareprintlab @tinkercad LOVE this. Are you having them design things that can be used with this challenge in place?

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

@_Ms_J We're playing w/ micro-modules of asynchronous content that bundled together comprise whole lessons but can be navigated as able by Ss and supported by IRL/virtual Tt instruction and peer mentoring. But what do YOU wish you had in ur toolkit to make it easier?

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

🚀Even STARTING a to-do list is in itself an accomplishment. Put "Start to-do list" on your to-do list and then cross that sucker out!

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

For #youth #teens + #boomer's alike: you don't owe anyone an explanation or apology for 2021. Everyone gets a pass. You CAN just begin today being who you want to be from this moment forward. And yes, that includes having pizza for b'fast. #HappyNewYear!

[NextUs Ventures @nextusventures]

Always. Be. Experimentong! Start simple. Paper + tape. Cardboard + markers or a bit of #NoCode like @GlideApp. Maker your goal to learn something new about how to (or how NOT to) create value! Play! #DesignThinking #STEM #leanbusiness #youthpreneur #teenpreneur

[Mauricio Mejía @mejiando]

Prototypes are leverages for change.

Prototyping continuously with stakeholders might be a better change strategy than launching a shiny artifact that nobody knows.
