Neural Learning
By 2075, students might not need to read or listen to learn. With brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), knowledge could be uploaded directly into our minds—like learning French in 30 seconds or instantly understanding quantum physics. Teachers would guide creativity, not just deliver information.
Global Classrooms in the Metaverse
Physical borders won’t limit schools. We imagine fully immersive classrooms in the metaverse where we collaborate with students from other continents, design experiments in virtual labs, or even explore Mars colonies during a space history lesson.
AI Mentors & Custom Education Paths
Forget one-size-fits-all school. Each student will have an AI mentor—a lifelong, evolving companion that understands your goals, passions, and even emotions. It will help design your personal curriculum, recommend real-world projects, and connect you with experts.
My Future Academic Journey
As I look ahead to university life, I expect it to be a time of intense personal and intellectual growth. I’m excited to meet people from different backgrounds, take part in meaningful discussions, and dive deep into subjects I’m passionate about—especially in technology and education.
In my future university community, I hope to be someone who brings people together. I want to be involved not just in academics but in creating inclusive and inspiring spaces for collaboration—whether that’s in student clubs, research projects, or cultural events. I see myself as a curious learner and an active contributor.
My journey as a Crimson Global Ambassador
How it started:
While scrolling through LinkedIn, I suddenly entered one of my friends’ profiles and my eyes were caught by the aesthetic name “Crimson Global Ambassador”.I searched it on Google and explored the details Here. As a high school Junior from Dhaka, Bangladesh, I was confused about my selection. Because, people of my region weren’t familiar with such activities. Sometimes parents pressured me not to focus on other activities without study as their perspective was like only studying should be my task. But, my perspective was “every student should engage in those activities where they have passion”. So, I applied here in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping. Thank God!Finally I got that email of my acceptance and my joys knew no bounds!
The application process:
The phase was just telling about myself, my motive for being an ambassador, my overall story, how I will grow from the ambassador program and how I will promote the competitions.
The responsibility:
As an ambassador,I would be promoting top student competitions to different communities in your region!Some students rely on their personal networks or ask their teachers to advertise opportunities to the school, while others use social media to contact schools and students clubs in their area.Is this something you are comfortable doing, and can dedicate around 1-2 hours/week?
What I got💁♀️
I would be given a personalized promo code to promote our competitions. The more sign-ups I have, the more prizes I can redeem.
Ambassadors who do well can redeem leadership mentoring hours to help you with college/scholarship apps! Top ambassadors also get a chance to become an intern for competitions, such as the Harvard Crimson Global Case/Essay Competition.
There’s a lot to get just by spending 1-2 hours/week✨
Personal Experience:
Joining The Crimson Global Ambassador Programme has profoundly changed my perspective and boosted my confidence to do something for the society from my side.Joining sessions for USA application guidelines, connecting with like-minded people from all over the world, working with them in various clubs and organizations for the betterment of the people, everything just helps me to know another world.
My achievement:
My journey to be the Founding President of “Girl Up Cumilla’’, HR Manager of “She’s The First Dhaka, article writer at “ STEMscribe”,Marketing internship at “Collegepeak”, participating in several competitions, summer program acceptance all were possible for me after joining the group. Still seeking opportunity and working with others.
Hidden quality that I achieved:
Time management is a huge skill. While spending a lot of time seeing unnecessary things on screen, it wasn’t worth it. After joining the ambassador program, automatically time management skills were nurtured in myself. It played an important role in my life as I am living alone, I was distrusted by unproductive things. At that time, I found the Diamond that was starting to sharpen my life gradually.
