4.0 Schools

4.0 finds talented teachers, technologists and entrepreneurs and gives them a platform to bring to life bold ideas that solve real problems. These new solutions serve as the core of a new generation of education ventures – schools, products and services that reimagine the way we teach and learn. Our efforts have been noticed and lauded by Fast Company, TechCrunch, and Forbes, and we have a strong presence in the EdTech blogosphere, with nods from Getting Smart, EdSurge, and The EdTech Times. More important than any buzz is what we hear from the members of our community – most of whom didn’t see themselves as entrepreneurs before 4.0: “4.0 made sure that I asked the hard questions and focused on the big problems- which made mSchool what it is today.” - Elliot Sanchez, founder of mSchool “Launching Classroom Blueprint through 4.0 dramatically expanded my own sense of possibility; I adopted an identity as a creator, and now am creating my own school.” – Jess Bialecki, founder of Classroom Blueprint, founding principal of Schaumburg Academy, New Orleans People like Elliot and Jess matter more to us than ideas or business plans. We invest in people because we believe that developing creative confidence, risk tolerance and problem-finding make them more likely to solve tough problems in the long run. 4.0 alums are the leaders and change-makers that will define the future of schooling over the next 20 years.

ESTEEM Graduate Program at the University of Notre Dame

ESTEEM emphasizes the action of entrepreneurship, not just the study of it. By the time they graduate, due to the rigorous academic experience, exposure to real-life business ventures, and exceptional mentorship, ESTEEM students find their technical skills impactful and marketable in a rapidly changing economy. Students are launched into career tracks outside of narrow technical roles, taking positions of leadership at the intersection of business and innovation. Over the course of this 11-month master of science degree program at the University of Notre Dame, students from technical backgrounds are equipped with the skills and experience to launch new businesses, become innovators within large corporations, and be leaders of dynamic, innovative teams. Over the course of a year, students are immersed in an entrepreneurial sandbox, where they get their hands dirty with entrepreneurship and innovation through a cutting-edge curriculum, a capstone commercialization thesis for an emerging technology, and outstanding out-of-the-classroom experiences.
