Singularity University

Great place to be if your passion is playing a role to change the world and humanity in important ways

Someone said it best here, «if Silicon Valley pioneers in technology, Singularity University is the epitome of this pyramid.»
Who would have thought that Google’s autonomous car had been an ongoing research since 2003? Almost every «upcoming» breakthrough in technology you hear in the news has been happening in-​house long before everyone knows it, and SU is one of the best channels to get a good glimpse of this kind of technology.
Learn first-​hand how nanotechnology is used to curtail the world’s leading causes of human maladies; be challenged to think exponentially — far beyond common case studies in tackling business and real-​world scenarios through Kurzweil Technologies and X Prize Foundation; learn your genetic makeup and daily fitness analytics through 23andme’s and fitbit’s devices, and explore better ways of turning so-​called obsolescence/​untapped elements of the earth or solar system into sustainable and useful energy resources.
The curriculum is converged by 2 programs: Executive Program and Graduate Studies Program. Leading thinkers from over 100 countries are selected to learn and share their ideas in space, robotics, networks, bioremediation /​medical technological epiphanies among many others. From thereon, they can walk away with interesting ideas that can be applied to their respective lines of expertise and knowledge worldwide.
The awesome part of this program is SU philanthropically chooses leaders in developing nations to enroll, all expenses paid, to grow more and provide better solutions to their nation’s growing crisis. A noticeable demographics’ basic necessities are not met in economically challenged societies, and SU aims to bring these respective pioneers to provide them with the tools and knowledge to tip the scales of poverty, hunger, and access to affordable medicine.
Besides knowing what NASA has been up to lately, the best part is meeting very intelligent people and connections.

Where else can you find 80 of the world’s brightest, most entreprenurial students from all over the world being taught by the world’s most distinguished faculty (Vint Cerf, Nobel Prize winners, Tim Ferris, Larry Page) condensed into an intense, 10 week program? Housed in NASA Ames, the people you meet here are amazing. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of their inaugural class and making so many life long friends from all over the world.
