Learning with Tablets

Welcome to Smiley Bridge! 
Bridging the Gap Between Curiosity
and Innovation

From MIT Media Lab internships in Taiwan to executive innovation tours in Boston, we're creating life-changing educational experiences across the globe.

Learn from Industry Leaders

Our workshops feature leading experts who seamlessly blend academic excellence with groundbreaking innovation.  Picture learning design thinking from RISD's creative geniuses, entrepreneurship from Babson's business wizards, or cutting-edge tech innovation from MIT's brilliant minds. It's like having a dream team of mentors, all eager to share their secret sauce for success. Get ready to soak up wisdom from those who've been there, done that, and changed the world while they were at it!

Practical, Hands-On Learning

Say goodbye to snooze-worthy lectures! At Smiley Bridge, we believe in learning by doing, failing, and trying again – with a big grin on your face. Our workshops are like playgrounds for your brain, where you'll tackle real-world challenges, brainstorm wild ideas, and turn concepts into action. Dive into a learning experience where you roll up your sleeves, tackle practical problems, and gain skills that truly stick because you've actively practiced them.

Building Future Leaders

At Smiley Bridge, we're not just imparting knowledge; we're sparking transformations that will illuminate your future.  Our workshops are transformative experiences that'll reshape how you see the world – and yourself. You'll discover leadership superpowers you never knew you had, boost your confidence to stratospheric levels, and develop a toolkit for tackling any challenge life throws your way. When you leave Smiley Bridge, you won't just be ready for the future – you'll be prepared  to shape it. Get ready to unleash your inner changemaker!

We work with professors from MIT, Babson, RISD
