THE EDUCATIONAL EXPANSE :

Our education does not have to be the history of what Abraham Lincoln did way back 4 score and 7 years ago. Instead our education can be the expanding of our experiences to transform and revamp the now into a world of creation that embodies our magic, our minds, and our passions!
My Name is David Gibson and I am committed to transforming education into something spectacular for all students allowing them to gain access to the world they create for themselves. I am related to this cause as I have multiple Master's Degrees and found a lot of my education wanting. I want students to be educated in the skills of creating the world they want and overcoming all hurdles and boundaries that are in their way. I am in the process of finalizing the curriculum and the funds are being used to test the curriculum, and have some events and things for the participating students. The funds are being used to pay the staff and I am in the process of finalizing partnerships with a few organizations that are in Chicago, and Illinois in general including several school districts. I will be personally withdrawing the funds and distributing them to the staff members that run the programs. We are also in talks with a university to have students from the university teach modules to high school students based on the early success of the curriculum. Once the contracts are finalized I will need the funds to have the staff be effective and be compensated for transforming education. The staff is paid per session that they teach and the sessions are with student classrooms with approximately 20 students in each session.  I will be managing the funds to cover costs and materials and the curriculum is created and designed by me. I already have tested the curriculum in a college classroom and out of the 24 responses 78 percent of the students have already stated that the class has had a high to above moderate impact on their education and the actualization of their dreams.

How many times have you heard My mom wants me to be or they said I should be because … Think does that really inspire you? Probably Not … so what if everything you learned was about how to create the life you wanted versus the life someone told you that you had to live? The Educational Expanse gives you the canvas of the universe in which to paint your life on, that will last as long as you want it to, because you said it was so. These courses help you discover your passion, blow through hurdles and objectives, understand that failure is an event never a person, and that we all have a responsibility to each other. Notice I did not say we teach you and test you and make you regurgitate what someone else said instead we share with everyone in the discovery of themselves and what applies to them. The Educational Expanse allows you to grow beyond what others have done into the new way of what you create. Well this person did it this way great for them. You are not them, instead be you, do it in a way that makes you fulfilled and contribute to the world around you. The Educational Expanse which is powered by Diverse City 7 gives you education about you and what you want to do rather than what everyone else did.

Imagine the vastness of space. It is ever growing in every direction creating a limitless expanse. Only wait, you do not have to imagine it as this is what makes up the essence of the human mind. There are miles and miles of empty space, and when you have empty space, you can create anything you dare to dream. Now imagine there are 7.4 billion people all using the limitless expanse of their minds for what they are passion about in life.

That would be a world of creation and innovation where all things are possible. Everything is used to create something of value.

Flashback a little sickly kid goes to 2nd grade and takes a standardized test and it is discovered he is reading on a college reading level. Same kid gets transferred to a school up north and exists in a world of culture shot. The kid expands his mind taking on new ideal and cultures from people around the world. He moves through seeing education not just as the accumulation of knowledge instead he see’s the practical knowledge that can transform the world. Same kid grows up and gets multiple master’s degrees always gaining knowledge. Now that man learns a lot and dies…. That would be a waste and that is not my story. Instead I am living and it is important for me to share my skills rather than my history with people that allows them to move from the failings of education into the spectacular wonders of what the world could be, YEAH that’s my story, and I want you to be a part of it.

In March 2018 I took all that knowledge and began to see what make that knowledge special, and I discovered nothing about the information was special. What was special was me, I gathered it I got it and I wanted to do something with it. I took it and began shaping it creating The Educational Expanse. This is a new curriculum that aligns students with their own passions of who they want to be with what they learn so that it is all relevant and all useful. Remember sitting somewhere and thinking what does this have to do with who I want to be and the obvious answer was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

How many times have you heard My mom wants me to be or they said I should be because … Think does that really inspire you? Hell No … so what if everything you learned was about how to create the life you wanted versus the life someone told you had to live? The educational expanse gives you the canvas of the universe in which to paint your life on that will last as long as you wanted to, because you said it was so. These courses help you discover your passion, blow through hurdles and objectives, understand that failure is an event never a person, and that we all have a responsibility to each other.
