REGISTRATION

XGENS 17 UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INSTITUTE

The Institute will address the fundamental issues underlying each of the 17 SDG’s, and many of their 169 constituent targets.

Participants will learn “Design Thinking” processes which they will apply to hypothetical and actual development, as well as implementation of one or more solutions to their own local community challenges. This investment will serve as a core extracurricular project providing them with a competitive advantage for future college applications, internships and jobs. Participants will prepare a scalability plan enabling such solution(s) to be applied to similar challenges in other regions.

Participants will learn about the six UN organs, including UNESCO (ECOSOC) and departments, such as DESA, as well as commissions, forums and other bodies which are focused on enabling member states implementation of the SDG’s.

Among several underlying themes will be the Circular Economy and “systems value” processes involved in designing the life cycle of a product commencing from raw material extraction and extending to an unending chain of recycling into different products for diverse communities. Entrepreneurial business plans may also be studied that launched circular economy enterprises which enabled achievement of the SDG’s.

Discussions will also focus on core elements of different commissioned reports with a focus on science, technology and innovation and associated vital sustainable impacts.

Participants will also learn about UN processes and procedures including drafting resolutions using the consensus approach enabling collaboration of member states to solve fundamental societal challenges. These diverse challenges include climate change, economic development, education and literacy, preparing current generations to engage in meaningful careers and a future of valued work in the AI World, equity including eradicating hunger, poverty, gender inequality and abusive child labor practices, effective and ethical healthcare practices such as distribution of the COVD-19 vaccine, sustainable infrastructure, preserving the planet both on land and below water, and space exploration and colonization.

Participants will also develop their own interpretations of the SDG’s and targets through the arts including music, visual and theatrical skits and plays, as well as creative writing encompassing poetry and stories, and prototype models. These interpretations will enable each participant to serve as a community ambassador to promote awareness and application of the SDG’s by others.

NASA award winning DIGIVATIONS CAMP DEMIGOD INSTITUTE, campdemigod.org and harrypottercamps.org, and DIGIVATIONS XGENS, XGENS.org, commemorate the life of Apollo 11 Astronaut, Michael Collins. His heroism, humanity, ingenuity and inspiration profoundly impacted the lives of many youth catalyizing them to pursue the fields of art and architecture, design thinking, engineering, science and humanities.
DIGIVATIONS XGENS was pleased to participate in Yale Model UN XLVIII’s Virtual Conference, held January 20 - 23; YMUN 2022. DIGIVATIONS XGENS was accepted as a delegation for Harvard’s Model UN - In-Person Conference held in-person in Boston, January 27-30; HMUN 2022​.

We are excited to provide you with an opportunity to participate in YMUN and/or Harvard Model UN in January, 2023. XGENS has been leading delegations to North American and global Model UN’s for several years as a result of the catalyzing influence of DIGIVATIONS’ Founders' son, Jacob Berman, now a student at Cornell University active in International Affairs and Finance, Environmental Sociology, Archaeology and many other subject domains. Jacob will join Drs. Steve and Anne as Faculty Advisors.



Having enjoyed leading delegations throughout the world including at the UN’s Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland; UN headquarters located in New York City; Yale University, New Haven; and several other cities, as well as Yale virtually in 2022, we believe they offer a brilliant and multi-faceted conference coupled with unique competitions designed to enable delegates a vital pathway to explore and highlight their many respective passions, inner strengths, and diverse perspectives and talents. Most significantly, participation in YMUN enables you to meet outstanding delegates from throughout the world who represent different countries’ cultures, governance systems, languages and histories, otherwise not available without years of traveling throughout the world. Imagine one venue where you explore and demonstrate who you are as a young leader which also provides you with the advantage of making new international friends.


In 2022, Yale University provided DIGIVATIONS XGENS' Delegation with excellent Conference Committee opportunities encompassing the General Assembly, European Commission, Regional Bodies, Specialized Agencies and Crisis Committees. The topics and issues enabled selected delegates to engage in significant research, enhance their written and oral/advocacy skills, immerse in significant intellectual discussion and debate, and learn to compromise enabling them to draft and pass impactful resolutions. As a result of the rigor of Model UN programs, and the 360 degree demands of high level Conferences, delegates who participate in YMUN and /or HMUN; are more likely to be evaluated as outstanding candidates for admission to the best colleges in the world, as well as invaluable internships, and other life enhancing opportunities.

Consistent with its mission to “Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators”, XGENS is announcing a new College Preparatory Sustainable Development Academy based on its NASA award winning STEM+ARTS+HUMANITIES+MOVEMENT curriculum. Consistent with new investments in intelligent infrastructure and transportation, smart cities and shelters, food security, advanced healthcare and biotechnologies, space exploration and commercial space, and meaningful careers in the world of AI, among other domains, DIGIVATIONS XGENS Academy will prepare students to acquire and apply foundational interdisciplinary knowledge solving SDG targets.

XGENS also announces a spotlight on UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, among other interrelated goals 1, 2, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16 and 17. XGENS will engage with a collaborative of international academic research centers including nanotechnology and other leading edge scientific and humanities communities which are focused on advancing healthcare technologies as well as societal innovations enabling sustainable and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that promotes the economic, social, and environment dimensions of sustainable development. Noted technologies, among others, encompass those supporting COVID-19 vaccines, biologic and genetic therapies, as well as AI applied to drug discovery and other innovative applied and translational scientific research designed to enhance good health and well being. These academic centers and societal innovation partners generate innovative solutions to the underlying SDG targets through interdisciplinary scientific research and applied science incorporating advanced education with a focus on next generation workforce skills, effective health and public policy and critical infrastructure investment including start-ups.

Consistent with its mission to “Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators”, XGENS is focused on engaging a community of middle school through high school students, Grades 8-11, in a SDG Innovation Social Venture Impact Competition, including XGENS-NANOENVISION, and XGENS YOUTH AMBASSADOR LEADERSHIP FORUMS where applied Science, Humanities & Literacy serve as the catalysts under the direction of DIGIVATIONS. The Social Venture Competition will integrate a global stakeholder community of educators (formal and informal), business and civic leaders, and UN sanctioned NGO’s working with underserved communities which will educate, guide and inspire the students.

​The underlying goals will be to assemble interdisciplinary cohort teams who work together to develop cost effective innovations which will be deployed locally as well as globally as solutions to SDG 3 and other goals targets enabling healthier living and societies.

The competition will include three phases. One phase will include a design thinking and work plan stage leading to proposals which be evaluated, and the winners will receive opportunity awards that will be used to create both theoretical and functional prototypes. The prototypes will be judged based on prospective immediate and long term societal impact, innovation and relevance to achieving the targets of SDG3 and other goals with the selected winners receiving funding for the last phase. The third phase will yield tangible inventions that NGO’s can immediately implement positively impacting individuals and communities.

Humanities will serve a pivotal role in enabling scientific literacy and effective policy decisions for all individuals to ensure that disinformation is extinguished through personal empowerment and critical thinking skills development. Factually based information dissemination through XGENS-SDG community partnerships will prove valuable.

The following UN Video and SDG Partnership Guidebook serves as inspiration to engage participants to become active in positively transforming the world one valuable action after another. Every innovative moment in life matters, and you have the power to make a vital difference in others’ lives and society.
​
If you require additional inspiration about the WHY, please read a brief encapsulation about the 2030 Agenda for the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and UN Secretary-General’s, António Guterres’, United Nations pronouncement. Read The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2020 published by the UN - HERE and attached below.



​
We look forward to hearing from you.
Please correspond with Dr. Steve Lee Berman at [email protected].

THE WHY: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched in 2015 to end poverty and set the world on a path of peace, prosperity and opportunity for all on a healthy planet. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demand nothing short of a transformation of the financial, economic and political systems that govern our societies today to guarantee the human rights of all.

“Everything we do during and after this crisis [COVID-19] must be with a strong focus on building more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change, and the many other global challenges we face.
António Guterres Secretary-General, United Nations”

Founders, Dr. Steven Lee Berman & Anne Deane Berman, PhD
​
Since 1998, DIGIVATIONS INSTITUTE Founders have invested their decades of experience acquired in Academia (UCLA, UBC), Government, Creative Arts, and Technology Industries, in establishing and positively enabling an international community of thousands of youth, educators and professionals to exponentially advance the fabric of society paralleling the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
​
The Founders of DIGIVATIONS Education Ventures (Canada) DIGIVATIONS CAMP DEMIGOD INSTITUTE (US Federal 501(C)3) and DIGIVATIONS XGENS (Model UN) are Anne Deane Berman, Ph.D. and Dr. Steven Lee Berman. Both were former professors at UCSB and UCLA, respectively. They represented the entire University of California establishing one of the most successful industry-university matching grants programs in digital technologies and content (Advanced Computing- SETI@home, AI, Precision Agriculture,Drug Discovery, Energy, Intelligent Infrastructure, Remote Medicine, 21st Century Entertainment, among others) generating over $300 million in revenue for the State of California from the late 90’s through the mid-2000’s. Dr. Anne Deane Berman​ is also an internationally performed composer and a former faculty member at UCSB, Iowa State University and University of British Columbia.

Heavily influenced by the United States and U.S.S.R. Space Race, Dr. Steven Lee Berman has served as a materials and computation engineer writing computer programs to analyze some of the first moon rock samples, and he also contributed to the research and design for some of the most advanced engineering and bioengineering applications including the Space Shuttle's heat shield. For the past 30 years, he has actively served as an Intellectual Property, Entertainment, Corporate and Non-Profit Attorney in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. He continues to be involved in numerous educational, technology and interactive media content start-ups and established the first formal enterprise to connect Silicon Valley technologists and creatives with the then more established entertainment corporate and talent communities in Hollywood (see Wired Magazine Article​). He also co-designed the curriculum for the first Digital Media Masters Degree program in Canada at the Great Northern Way Consortium Campus in British Columbia, Canada (ECU, UBC, BCIT and SFU).

Dr. Steve has also established economic partnerships and designed innovation pipeline programs for cities, governments, states, universities, and countries including founding the California-Canada Strategic Innovation Partnership which focused on Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Nanotechnology, as well as Advanced Transportation and Energy.

Both Drs. Steve and Anne Berman established a NASA award winning STEM+ARTS+MOVEMENT 501(c)(3) educational non-profit in the United States, DIGIVATIONS CAMP DEMIGOD INSTITUTE, and Innovation & Literary Camps featuring the world’s first and only overnight Camp Half-Blood (for which Jacob Berman was the creative force and a Founder); Harry Potter Campincluding Harry Potter Sustainable Universe focused on teaching students and adults about the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals and how to implement creative works and innovations supporting them, and Camp Fandom. To date, Drs. Berman through DIGIVATIONS have taught over 5,000 students, ages 5-25. DIGIVATIONS also established and operates its educational programs in BC, Canada through an entity known as DIGIVATIONS EDUCATION VENTURES​. The collective programs also focus on professional development having taught 2,000 educators and community innovation entities.
​
Through our organizations, many high school and college students have received substantial benefits ranging from service credit hours and other awards, positions in our organizations and other professional enterprises, and university scholarships based on their work in our programs. Drs. Bermans’ current focus is on further developing its high school, Running Start, university and young professionals Model UN non-profit initiatives, DIGIVATIONS XGENS​, and its academic and industry programs focused on the application and implementation of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
