How can we find the next Einstein to save the world? Quantum Leap Experiment (QLE) is launching the Einstein Youth Forum—a TED-talk for youth—to inspire a new generation to become more than superficial social media influencers.
Forum's founder Matt Price Gallagher, President, QLE, has a day job as a quantum physicist, which exposed him to the philanthropic world as well as Israel's innovative culture where social responsibility is embedded into for-profit ventures.
This year was the perfect time to launch this initiative, noting that it is the 100th anniversary of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, Canada's 150th birthday, Montreal's 375th birthday, and the 50th anniversary of Montreal's World Expo.
The inaugural two-day Forum held in Montreal, Canada in early September invited more than 350 high school students to listen to presentations by thought leaders, industry experts, and even Einstein's cousin, Karen Cortell Reisman. While attendees benefited from the inspirational presentations, the broader event served as an opportunity for corporations to align with youth-focused social advocacy.
