Peer Learning :: The Wealth of Knowledge is in the Room Does it bother you to sit a room with hundreds of great minds and not have the opportunity to actively learn from them? StartingBloc believes that the wealth of knowledge is in the room and the time has come to unleash it. StartingBloc candidates enriched their experience by learning something new from their peers,
and teaching something return. With the belief that everyone is an expert in something, candidates will be split into groups to teach topics ranging from salsa dancing to tax law. Candidates will left the session with newfound knowledge and and a tight bond with their peers, having gone through an experience that is humbling by nature. What can you teach the world?

room has the chance to open their mind, travel in time and live out the future in the present. The candidates reunited in 2026, and shared their biggest dreams. With the first female President of the United States, a cure for AIDs and cancer, and several Nobel prize winners, this high energy session pushed the boundaries of how we picture success.
