Inspire future dreamers, showing kids that listening to their inner curiosity can create excitement about learning and pave the way to a multitude of new career possibilities .
There is a commonly held idea that we need to follow our passion in life. However, many kids don’t necessarily have one particular passion. Over time, kids can become increasingly anxious about what do after their school years.
We believe not in passion, but rather following one’s curiosity and developing passions as you explore. That exploration led to The Universe On Stage and will create the new generation of leaders.
