Staff Report From Georgia CEO

 FutureVerse, America’s Future Museum, is launching a transformative partnership with Clayton County Public Schools to bring cutting-edge technology directly into classrooms. The initiative, known as Program ASPIRE, will create immersive Innovation Learning Labs powered by AI, virtual reality, and a future-forward curriculum in Georgia public schools ahead of the museum’s grand opening in downtown Atlanta.

Program ASPIRE officially launches today at 5 p.m. at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton’s Atlanta office, marking the first phase of a bold new model for education and innovation in Georgia. Through the Peach Education Tax Credit, businesses and individuals can redirect their state tax liability to fund Program ASPIRE at no additional cost—making it easier than ever to invest in innovative learning.

“This isn’t about waiting four years for the museum to open—we are acting today to equip students with the tools of tomorrow,” said David Wynett, CEO of FutureVerse. “With the Peach Tax Credit, businesses can fund Program ASPIRE simply by redirecting what they pay in Georgia taxes. It costs taxpayers nothing to contribute but makes a huge impact.”

Clayton County will be the first district in Georgia to implement Program ASPIRE, which blends emerging technology with a problem-solving curriculum designed to increase student engagement, accelerate learning, and help solve real-world challenges. Guided by the Mount Vernon School Innovation Diploma program, the goal is to improve STEAM learning while transforming how students experience education by boosting their collaboration, creativity, and project management skills. FutureVerse plans to expand the program across the state, beginning in metro Atlanta and Fulton County.

“As the former superintendent of Clayton County, I know firsthand how critical it is to engage our students,” said Dr. Morcease Beasley. “We’re encouraging the business community to support our pilot of Program ASPIRE to provide students with an elevated learning experience while preparing them for the jobs of the future in a technology-driven world.”

With extensive K–12 projects — including schools already built in Clayton County — award-winning architecture firm Cooper Carry is leading the design of the Innovation Labs, which will be connected to FutureVerse.

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, a leading law firm, is an early supporter of FutureVerse’s mission.

“As one of the world’s leading tech-focused law firms, it was a natural fit for Kilpatrick to become involved with an innovative initiative like FutureVerse. Kilpatrick has been a part of the fabric of Atlanta for over 150 years and has continued to represent and counsel many of the city’s iconic brands as they have expanded their businesses globally over the decades. We look forward to partnering with FutureVerse as they launch Program ASPIRE, which will invest in the next generation of inventors and leaders and enhance the region’s reputation as one of the nation’s top technology hubs.”
