PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Inner Strength Education (ISE) is thrilled to announce that two students from our XPRIZE Connect program were selected to attend XPRIZE Visioneering 2024, the foundation's flagship event in Los Angeles, California. This achievement reflects the creativity and drive of our city's youth, who continue to inspire us with their dedication to visionary ideas and meaningful change.

At Visioneering 2024, these students were given a unique opportunity to engage with global thought leaders and pitch their innovative ideas alongside some of the world's brightest minds in science, technology, and social impact. Their involvement went far beyond simply attending—they actively participated in ideation sessions focused on addressing critical global challenges, presenting bold solutions that demonstrate their vision for a better future.

Held from October 25-27 in Los Angeles, XPRIZE Visioneering brought together 250 top innovators—including scientists, technologists, philanthropists, and thought leaders—to collaboratively design solutions for some of humanity's biggest challenges. This year's theme, "Ignition Sequence: Architecting the Future," included sessions like "Global Visioneering," "Crazy Ideas: 2024 Prize Concepts," and "New Frontiers: Prizes in Development." Participants, including our students, explored ideas across domains such as Climate + Energy, Health, Learning + Society, and Biodiversity + Conservation. Notable speakers like astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and XPRIZE founder Peter H. Diamandis made this an inspiring event for all involved.
