VERIZONThe Idea Vault

Millions of under-resourced students are lacking the connectivity, technology and skills required for success in today’s digital economy. That’s why since 2012, Verizon have been working to help foster digital inclusion through a transformative program called Verizon Innovative Learning.

Project Overview

In order to raise awareness to this initiative, we brought some of the brightest minds in education together for a custom TimesTalk at Hudson Yards. At the centre of the experience was The Idea Vault, a huge interactive dome lined with hundreds of lights, each representing a specific school Verizon has helped and each a metaphor for the ideas and progress made possible by the initiative.

A surface hub at the centre of the vault gave visitors information about the program and its goals, as the environment around them reacted in real-time. The experiential event was a huge success and has now been commissioned to go on the road, in order to showcase the incredible message to visitors across the country.
