Let’s be honest — not many students are going to pick up Zero to One by Peter Thiel (That’s okay. I didn’t read it either — thank you, audiobooks.) One idea from the book stayed with me. It talks about two kinds of progress:

1 → n: Doing more of what already exists — better grades, more certificates, another internship.
0 → 1: Creating something new — an idea, a project, something that didn’t exist before.

Most students spend years in 1 → n, and it’s easy to feel stuck while watching a few others seem to jump straight to big wins.

As an educator (& a mom), this is where CampusTalk comes in. Every program, student story, free internship, or volunteering opportunity I share has one simple goal:that every student finds a direction, a spark — or even just a starting point.

Happy to be on your screen.
And honestly… smart of you to not (un)subscribe. You never know which opportunity might knock on your virtual door next.

Maybe you missed this — but this is seriously cool. A mix of engineering, design, & climate innovation — This is what good news looks like:
