Global Moonshots in Education is poised to be the Butterfly Effect for authentically transforming the way we educate young people worldwide.
As a challenger to the status quo, GME is preparing to engage the engrained mindset around our current institutional approach to learning from a worldwide perspective.
With socialization & community building at its core, Global Moonshots is more of a movement than a brand. Moving forward requires a long term, steady effort to dissect the inadequacies of what's place, from the various viewpoints of its diverse community stakeholders, as well as introducing the well-developed, comprehensive program as a solution to each group's pain points.
Beginning in this way, GME can cultivate trust & identification with the brand, inviting conversation, participation & advocacy around what it stands for.
My role includes:
- high level communications audit
- high level engagement strategy
- hard copy booklet design + implementation for gaining funding
- brand design recommendations
- key message development
- enewsletter template design
- event banner design
- website banner design
2. Dr. Esther Wojcicki created GlobalMoonshots.org to transform edu-
cation and empower learners to take on the challenges of the 21st century.
When her dream is realized, educators and learners everywhere will
engage in projects that intrinsically matter to them, build-
ing the creative, critical thinking, communication and collaborative skills
necessary for individual and societal prosperity and success.
Esther has demonstrated the power of this approach for over 35 years while
leading the award winning Palo Alto High School Media Arts program. This
all out effort to bring her vision for public education worldwide to a tipping
point is her personal ‘Moonshot’ for the long term benefit of humanity.
