Connect positions youths in a future where an abundance mindset, digital prowess and innovative thinking are the bedrock of socio-economic development and inclusive growth. Students learn how to translate their ideas into tangible prototypes or concepts that have the potential to create a positive impact. XPRIZE Connect isn't just a program - it's a call to action for young people everywhere to believe in their potential, harness their ingenuity, and help shape the world of tomorrow.
As the world evolves at a remarkable pace, XPRIZE Connect equips a global generation of creators, changemakers, and inventors to architect a sustainable and equitable future for all. We're fostering a transformative mindset shift, leveraging the power of digital innovation and cultivating the power of curiosity.
