Collaborative and creative experience…anywhere.
The MATTER Innovation Hub is the result of a collaborative partnership
between Jamf and MATTER. Utilizing the latest technology, the Innovation Hub promotes active learning, problem solving, and creativity
in a student-centered learning environment, for kids with limited or no
access to critical skills and education for their future success.
21st Century Success Factors
We stand at the brink of the 4th Industrial Revolution – a global technological revolution – that is going to fundamentally change the way we live and work. In many parts of the world, the next generation is not equipped with the necessary problem-solving, critical thinking, and continuous learning skills that will allow them to meet the challenges of the future.
According to experts, these are the main factors that will lead to success in the 21st century:
Geographic Flexibility — work from anywhere
Knowledge Based Economy – learn from anywhere
Demonstration of Skills – beyond exam scores
