It\u2019s fitting then, at this juncture of chapters closed and new ones opened, that we decided to have a Memorial Day Weekend be the unveiling of our outstanding MAD-nextgen product update &#8211; The New Frontier of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mad-learn.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAD-learn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before we tell you about the new features and functionalities that we have been busy building for you, we wanted to step back for a second and look at the big picture with you. We know that the jobs that our students are going to have access to when they graduate are VASTLY different than they were when we graduated. Our mission at MAD-learn is to ensure that we give every single student in our technology driven world access and exposure to understanding how technologies are made, not just used. We want to ensure that every student can learn more and understand more about today\u2019s relevant and far-reaching career options like design, programming, testing, product development, entrepreneurship, and much more. And we want to do this in a way that is cohesive and conducive to our classrooms of today.
