#3 Environment Activist
#1 School of the Future
Current education system is not fit for purpose in modern society. Put in place over a century ago, it still teaches students to perform repetitive tasks, rather than to generate original solutions. Can you imagine a new type of education that empowers young people for the life in the 21 century?
#2 Young Entrepreneur
