In this edition of Brilliant Labs Magazine: Digital Hope, we share stories of difficulty transformed to opportunity during the COVID-19 shutdown. We discover new teammates, like Alisha Collins, explore our new BL virtual reality platforms, journey with families as they share #MakerFun projects and life while learning-at-home and feel our hearts move as we learn how Minecraft became a safe & friendly space for youth feeling along. We also travel to the UK to share in the feeling that failure is ok in a time of lockdown when everything is cancelled and discover the power of engaging youth in a impactful conversation with Alfred Burgesson. Together, we learned that social distancing doesn’t mean disconnectedness… Instead we are closer now than ever before through virtual learning platforms and summer STEAM camps here at home and around the world! Please join to explore the Digital Hope shaping our present and future world.
