On why we are launching the CREATE Program

Imagine this with me: In an alternate universe, Palestine develops its own version of the personal computer at the exact same time as the United States. Steve & Steve create Apple Computers in California, but a similar seed is also planted in Palestine where an alternate version of Microsoft is created. Fast-forward to 2022, where will our world be now?

Actually, let’s take it to another place, Afghanistan. Would the Taliban have emerged if the internet spread in Kabul at the same time it did in San Francisco?

No one knows. But here’s the main point, technology has the potential to change the arc of history. It tends to create more jobs than it destroys, allows for fresh growth and prosperity, and sets the stage for what comes next. Without this infrastructure available, young people, in less developed countries, end-up losing a lot.

With this, we believe the least anyone deserves is the opportunity to thrive, and that’s why we are launching the CREATE Program. We will provide thousands of youth with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to create and thrive through tech, the internet, and Web3.

The CREATE Program is a tokenized, Discord-based, innovation-education program where participants (Dreamers) finish specific quests—such as watching a course, reading an article, referring a friend—in return for CREATE tokens. There will be 10 levels of achievement; each level with its set of quests, rewards, and community. And, at level 10, Dreamers get to pitch a startup idea in return for an investment, and join the Creators alumni community. This alumni community then helps govern the program.

The program will be fully automated with Dreamers autonomously collecting tokens as they finish quests spread throughout the Web, within the Discord community, and in their everyday lives.

At its core, the CREATE Program is highly scalable and highly impactful. Through the innovative elements of tokenization, quests, and community, we will aim to enable deep cultural and structural changes, and update how innovation is perceived and developed.

We are firstly launching in my home country of Palestine in June 2022, with a mark of 50,000 Dreamers within 5 years or less. But, we know very well that this program is needed in many more places. As soon as we get the successes we want in Palestine, we will offer this program in other countries, and will invest in Dreamer startups there through local partners, and a dedicated MISSION investment fund.

The CREATE Program isn’t within the innovation education curve, it’s ahead of it. We believe it’s fantastic. Wherever you are, if you think it’s fantastic too, reach out to me to explore launching in your country. Also, to stay updated on the CREATE Program check my personal website. A program website coming soon.

Onwards,

Dawoud
