You don’t need to have it all figured out right now.
Learning about your future should meet you where you are.
Your future is deeply personal
Learning about it should be too.
This is one of the first questions your team will explore together. We know what the research says about future readiness, thanks to a lot of smart people and solid work.
This Challenge is about exploring how that shows up in practice and building something that helps others do the same.
The world is changing.
So is how we learn.
New tools and technologies are becoming part of how we learn, work, and imagine our futures. Students and educators are already encountering them, often without much space to ask questions or slow down.
The FutureReady Challenge does not treat technology as the point. It treats it as part of the context.
We believe students and educators need to be in the conversation about how new tools are explored, tested, and used. This Challenge creates space for intergenerational learning, experimentation, and reflection so technology supports confidence, capability, and connection, not pressure or hype.
Some teams choose to explore AI-powered tools as part of their Quest. Others don’t. Both approaches are welcome.
