Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary, esteemed crew members, and distinguished guests,

Seven years ago, we embarked on a remarkable journey, one that sought to identify and empower the brightest and most ambitious minds spanning the United States and Canada. Our mission was clear: to positively disrupt youth development using technology and media. This audacious goal was not undertaken lightly, but with the support of professional sports teams, influential foundations, esteemed universities, and government agencies, we harnessed our collective strength to make it a reality. The result was a substantial prize pool and an impressive outreach strategy that drew in top talents, including PhDs and graduates from institutions like Stanford, Harvard, and the University of Toronto, as well as early-stage technology founders and experts in education, sports, and mental wellness.

At the culmination of this inspiring odyssey, a trio of exceptional young teenagers from the San Francisco Bay Area emerged as the second-place winners within their region. Their innovative solutions not only captivated our entire team but also resonated with our judges, surpassing those of adult competitors on both national and international levels. However, we encountered a frustrating obstacle - legal age constraints prevented us from awarding them the cash prizes they deserved. Instead of monetary recognition, we made a modest yet meaningful charitable contribution to their local nonprofit. Furthermore, acknowledging their extraordinary potential, we provided unwavering weekly and monthly business coaching and support.

In a mere six months, these remarkable students transformed from aspiring visionaries into architects of transformation. Guided by mentors and fueled by unbridled creativity, they turned their visionary ideas into tangible prototypes. They exhibited exceptional leadership by rallying over a hundred of their peers to join their 'motivational app,' delivering daily inspirational quotes, messages, and songs during moments of need. From the perspective of a startup advisor, their achievements outshone those of the other eight finalists, who had received substantial financial support. This unforeseen triumph reshaped our focus, compelling us to exclusively dedicate our efforts to working with teenage youth.

These students, along with numerous others, leveraged their Play4Tomorrow experiences to fuel their aspirations of accessing premium post-secondary education. They found like-minded peers, underwent personal growth, and dared to dream the seemingly impossible. This remarkable trend persisted as we continued our mission of collaborating with youth across the United States and Canada to co-create projects that not only reached millions but also propelled these young minds toward admission to some of the world's most prestigious post-secondary institutions.

It's crucial to emphasize that among the 9000 students who participated in our live workshops, competitions, online challenges, and educational pop-up experiences, over 7000 hailed from 'underserved or underrepresented communities,' including our original trio. Within Play4Tomorrow, they consistently transcended these labels, regularly outperforming students from affluent private schools, universities, and privileged backgrounds. We firmly believe in transforming the educational resources of institutions like Stanford University (my alma mater) into enjoyable, free, and mobile-friendly experiences accessible to young people from all walks of life. This paradigm shift in our focus has been our primary endeavor in recent years.

Currently, we are developing a pipeline of educational and inspirational content for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. We cover a wide range of subjects, from engineering to world history and civil rights, presenting them in the form of engaging games, immersive visual experiences, and artistic videos. Our aim is to inspire our audience to 'create their own.' Preliminary tests have yielded overwhelmingly positive responses. We are transitioning from traditional brick-and-mortar workshops and challenges to a more dynamic entertainment space, thereby exponentially expanding our reach. Some of our recent online events have engaged over 750,000 students, resulting in hundreds of prototypes, inventions, innovations, and pieces of social justice art. These endeavors have enjoyed resounding success.

In essence, this narrative underscores our unwavering commitment to empowering youth and harnessing their potential to drive transformative change. It stands as a testament to the profound impact of collaboration, agency, and our shared dedication to nurturing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators, who will continue to shape our world for years to come. A vast reservoir of brilliant young minds may not have access to top private schools or the most expensive afterschool programs, but our aspiration is to reach each and every one of them. We affirm with unwavering determination: Yes, we can! Yes, we will. Believe it!

As the active commander of the station, I am immensely proud of the incredible journey we've been on, and I look forward to the boundless possibilities that lie ahead as we continue to empower and inspire the youth of our world. Together, we will shape the future. Thank you.

With the highest regards,
