PlexLearning empowers groups of individuals to co-learn and act collaboratively with other autonomous technological agents in perceiving, interpreting, and responding to life’s opportunities and challenges.  It extends beyond schooling to education -- a purposeful sense of being framed by curiosity, the politics of sharing knowledge, and continuous learning about life itself.

EDSN provide programs for motivated groups of individuals.   EDSN develops AI-powered experiential programs for motivated groups of individuals who seek to navigate the politics of acquiring and applying desired knowledge.  These programs remove barriers and fill critical gaps in building sustainable socioeconomic bridges that lead to desirable quality-of-life, careers and thriving neighborhood communities.   

Our Plexlearning programs foster long-term Open access ecosystems for quality-of-life solutions.  They seamlessly integrate formal education and informal learning with life.  These cost-sharing solutions include entrepreneurship incubators, neighborhood makerspaces, workforce retooling, technical certifications, career management, socioeconomic scaffoldings, place-based fellowships, and lifestyle-vocations that empower participants to continuously learn, share, and adopt.
