Start in the place you live.” Global leaders join online sessions and give feedback to the students. This team has included the Dalai Lama; Zoom Global Chief Information Officer Harry Moseley; Lindy Elkins-Tanton, head of NASA’s Psyche Mission; and Facebook’s Randi Zuckerberg, a co-founder of the Zuckerberg Institute, creator of “Facebook Live” and bestselling author. The first few weeks of the program center on leadership, teamwork, research, how to come up with ideas, innovation and entrepreneurship.
