Vergent
the thought-leadership initiative to reimagine education for the 21-st century and beyond.
Towards an educational ecosystem
Our vision is first a methodology, and then a system, and then an ecosystem. The methodology will allow for anyone, anywhere, to start structuring learning for themselves. The system is a place to house it and organize it and connect it to possibilities and opportunities.
The best of the best of educational philosophies.
The concept of "Vergent" is the bringing together of the best of every domain of explored educational models and ideating how they can best integrate in different cultures, settings, and needs. It is designed to be adaptable while converging the best of each model into its core.
Technology-behind, Humans Ahead.
Current educational institutions have tried to adapt to technology, often with poor results. Our leadership comes from diverse backgrounds, including technology companies, and understands the power for both benefit and harm. We aim to make a background-based technology that is automated and invisible as much as possible while prioritizing human connection and movement rather than being seated in a desk.
What would a school on mars look like?
In 100 years, when establishing our first schools on Mars with no restrictions on old systems, what would it look like? This is the thought experiment we invite you to join.
