Problem or Opportunity
Youth are failing to thrive. Hopelessness, depression, and suicides are increasing while parents, counselors, and educators struggle to provide personalized, career-developing experiences help them grow to their potential. The K-20+ school system is too slow to integrate new tech and policies that support accelerated, individualized personal & professional development. Graduates struggle to find fulfilling and livable wage jobs. With AI, robots, & web3 to displace many more physical, mental, and creative jobs, we must transform education, employment, & social systems.
Solution (product or service)
To transform education, employment, and social systems, we are creating a metaversal learning ecosystem where youth and community members engage in real-world projects using web3 decentralized creative collaboration, blockchain contracts, ID, assets, & value exchange in integrated physical and virtual spaces:
1 - Thrive Towns & Labs, Academy, & Institute - physical network of creative project playgrounds for personal, professional, and community development
2 - Thrive World Portal, Self-Preneur Game of Life Mastery, & Thrive Collaborative (with XR digital twin of Thrive Town HQ)
