What We're up Against

Adversaries

SKILLS ≠ JOBS

Skills Gap

Educating with 19th century tools, in 20th century classrooms, to learn 21st century skills doesn't work.

Why Cryptocurrency works→

STIFLED INNOVATION

Centralization

Controlling data and information stifles innovation and coordination. Data should be fuel for the commonwealth.

our position →

BAD ACTORS

Confusion

Blockchain is largely misunderstood due to bad actors, lack of regulation, and poor communication.

Why Cryptocurrency works→
our position →

HIRING PRACTICES

Inequality

Discrimination in education and hiring ignores true merit and skills for unfair bias, undermining the commonwealth.

I'm in→
yeah, right→
our position →

Alien Age

One Size Fits All

Believing all children need to have the same skills at the same level due to  a child's age, stifles all who do not conform, by limiting creativity and putting them in boxes.

I'm in→
yeah, right→
our position →

Professor Oneway

Linear Learning

Teaching there is only one way to develop skills or telling rather than letting them do, stifles skill development and limits children's critical thinking and self motivation for learning.

Why Cryptocurrency works→

Doctor Pressure Test

Old Models

Forcing children to sit alone in dark school rooms and squeeze everything they know through a small pipe, stifles learning energy, collaboration and creativity.

I'm in→
yeah, right→
our position →

President Negative

Self Doubt

Telling children they can’t do things before they have tried them sows seeds of doubt and stifles problem solving and critical thinking.
