- The workshops are currently being scheduled virtually by subject-matter-experts (SME) via online video conferencing. It’s really essential that the focus should be to start training the next generation of great technologists.
- Why become a Now-Generation Influencer?
- Engage with your explorer: You will meet students, educators, volunteers, and community leaders throughout the area who are also passionate about making a difference.
- Use your expertise: Miss your geometry class? Not really using that English degree? Tutoring provides an opportunity for you to put that high school or college diploma to use.
- Support the future of the Campus Community…from the comfort of your home: C2D DMN partners offer virtual mentoring options, making mentoring a convenient and flexible way to impact the next generation of leaders.
- Gain new skills: You will receive training on how to tutor students and partner with educators to learn how to teach their curriculum, with a special emphasis on catering to each individual student’s needs.
C2D DMN is designed to inspire, educate and mentor next-generation explorers (NGE) with the use of emerging technology. Subject-matter-experts (SME) can offer mentoring and training in AI, Robotics, Coding, Game Development, 3D Animation, Graphic Design, Web Design, Application Development, Network Engineering, Computer Hardware, Social Media Marketing and much more.

- Marketplace partners can provide funding for application subscriptions and equipment. Invite a marketplace now-generation-thought-leader (NGTL) Mark Cuban (Investor), Craig Brabec (chief data analytics officer at McDonald’s) or others to engage in discussing next level.

Up for the Challenge
- C2D Challenge Mentors and Coordinators can register teams of curious minded explorers on behalf of their campus community or organization.
- The SimpliGO Campus Community Discovery (C2D) Program believes that all explorers are natural talents and that their curiosity and sense of adventure can launch them into a life of learning about and caring for our inter-connected communities inhabitants and resources.
