AI Powered Chatbot STEAM Activity
Global Innovation Race provided the opportunity for students from different schools and different countries to collaboratively push the envelope with a clear purpose and mind towards the future, as the problems of today will not be solved by traditional thinking. The students formed strong connections with peers from other countries, and the degree of innovation within Silicon Valley was inspiring for students and chaperones.

[Global Innovation Race] is a unique experience to combine the expertise of Stanford Design learning with the entrepreneurship and knowledge from industry experts in Silicon Valley. Meeting people from different parts of the world is a great opportunity to break cultural barriers and learn from others who might have different perspectives from us.  I learned a lot about Silicon Valley and the culture, people, and inspiration that makes it such an innovative hub, and it was exciting to see what the students were able to learn and produce in such a short period of time. The reflections of their learning experience showed a lot of depth in their learning process.”
