For almost a century, regulatory barriers made it difficult for individuals to invest in private markets, giving billion-dollar institutions preferred access. The result has been that most investors have been limited to public markets and excluded from private investments—ranging from real estate to venture capital. Technology is finally disrupting this status quo. Enter: Fundrise, America’s largest direct-to-consumer private markets manager. We built our technology platform to bridge the barrier. Software allows us to achieve the scale of institutions without the bureaucracy. Combining our technology and investment expertise, we are pioneering a new model to build you a better portfolio.

The Pick-N-Learn (PNL) is using storytelling (book, graphic novel, short stories, audio) as a way to engage learners and innovate a stale education system. Our goal is interdisciplinary learning by integrating and delivering activities, media, and curriculum through stories. Our graphics and characters engage, our stories contextualize and stimulate, and the educators deliver their content in a unique and stimulating way. There is an emphasis on science and math, though no restriction to a subject. We create our own lessons though the overarching goal is that any curriculum can be tied to and delivered through our stories and material. We have a team of artists, scientists, educators, writers, and lovers of the curious. PNL offers curriculum development, educator professional development, in-school, after-school, and event programming, along with integrating your lessons and curriculum into fun, engaging stories. "Those who tell the stories rule the world"​ ~ Plato. Let's create stories that empower the underserved, promote active learning, and build a more resilient and creative future.

For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.
