In 1957, Russia launched the unmanned satellite named ‘Sputnik’ into orbit. Today, we refer to it as America’s ‘Sputnik moment’ – an acute realization that something was changing in the competitive landscape that put a country’s future at risk.

Engagement + Innovation = Visioneering 2012
Our 2012 Visioneering event was probably our best ever. Visioneering began in 2007 as an informal Saturday afternoon conversation between our Trustees at the Googleplex (Larry Page was hosting that meeting, and Richard Branson was a guest visitor). We started generating prize ideas and found the whole conversation a lot of fun and refreshing.
My First FIRST: The FIRST Robotics World Championship
It’s the night of the big game. From the locker room you can hear the crowd maintain a steady roar that almost hums like television static in the background. You’re focused and your mind is in the zone. Final preparations are made before you finally take that slow-motion walk out of the entry tunnel and set foot on the stadium floor to a crowd of 20,000+ people, each one of them waiting intently to see what you’re capable of. This is the big show.
