Solve for X is a community of people working to accelerate progress on technology "moonshots" — radical ideas for solving global problems. These ideas are radical in the sense that the resulting solutions could help millions (or billions) of people, their sheer audacity makes them sound like science fiction, and these ideas reflect some real breakthrough or new approach that makes us believe they could be brought to life. We meet in person and online.
We'll be running a special interactive Solve for X workshop at this year’s EmTech MIT. After hearing short proposals from three technology pioneers, our audience will break into small groups for brainstorming. They'll spend about two-thirds of their time generating feedback (for example, ideas for overcoming known hurdles), and the remaining time offering constructive critiques (for example, identifying remaining questions and potential blind spots). Then we'll all gather to report back.
Join us to experience this unique format for collaborating on moonshot projects. You’ll take away a new approach to fueling truly groundbreaking innovation.

co-blog Legatum change the world conference has been announced for 10 May
MIT remains the most revolutionary space youth can study in usa- it celebrates open education; it houses the father of the web tim berners lee; a square mile walk from kendall metro is the most futuristic imagination tour I know of in the west (though I would love to join in celebrating any square mile tour you recommend for changing the world)
and through Legatum it hosts annual conferences by the digital wizards who first brought mobile telecoms to the world poorest village mothers and their communities with the greatest sustainability crises; I guess but I dont know that the most futuristic square mile tour in the middle east is located in Dubai (the twin capital of Legatum with Boston)
hottest youth-spring question of our life and times-can online education end youth unemployment for ever ? yes but only if you help map how!
