| A 9-year old girl once
said that she might forget a lot of what she learns in
school through the years but she would always remember
the supervised chats with NASA experts because she "got
to talk to amazing people". Those words were
part of the inspiration behind Imagiverse. Getting
to talk to amazing people can create life long memories
and be defining moments in the lives of young children.
Words from an "expert" may spark a dream,
leading to the pursuit of a faraway goal. Amazing people
abound in all walks of life. It doesn't matter what
career path you choose but it does matter that you love
what you do and strive to be the best that you can be.
Here,
inside the pages of Imagiverse, you will find many truly
amazing people. They work in many different fields
and come from diverse backgrounds, from different parts
of the world. The one thing they all have in common
is the willingness to share their stories with children
around the world. Read their interviews, chats,
biographies and their replies to questions from children
around the world. Come meet the amazing friends of
