About Lumi.Network
Lumi is building the world’s first AI-augmented platform where 10-25-year-olds undertake Quests to build entrepreneurship, design thinking & AI skills while collaboratively developing tech-enabled solutions to the world’s biggest problems (based on UN SDGs). The Quests culminate in a unique Digital Skills Passport accredited by a Stanford University-affiliated institution.
Working in teams from around the world, Luminaries learn skills in coding, design, and entrepreneurship. Supported by weekly expert sessions, they put these skills into practice to develop their original apps and solutions with tremendous potential to create real-world impact.
Young people see solutions, not problems. Lumi is their chance to combine their natural curiosity with the opportunity to make a real difference.

Integrating yoga and meditation in my life has allowed me to become a better leader and person in all walks of life.”
