“Education is the greatest driver of progress and introducing younger generations to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) sooner will spark their curiosity, nurture their talent and unleash their potential. We believe in equipping young people to invent their future. Investing in the education of young people enables them to successfully face future challenges and overcome physical and social barriers to succeed in their studies. The broader the access to quality education, the more young people will drive lasting progress in their own lives, their communities, and for generations to come.”
John Elkann, Chairman
