Description

For as long as we can remember, we have been told that it is better to be a doctor, engineer or lawyer when we grow up. We want to inspire students and parents to think holistically, beyond the social constructs instilled in their minds. Join us as we explore ideas with people who are at the top of their game, pursuing their dreams and making a difference in the world.
