Kinetic at Brandeis

Kinetic was founded during the summer of 2015 in response to the growing movement of student-led think tanks around the world. These think tanks have taken the responsibility of making change into their own hands by not relying on third-party's to make their decisions for them. College students, more than most demographics, are obsessed with making change and seeing the potential in the world. Mos

t often, however, students don't know how to implement their ideas and so only their desires are heard and ignored, as no one knows to achieve those ends. If, however, students were to create their own unique way of achieving those desires, a way that is both viable and effective, change could come about quicker and easier than most expect. Those "desires" are numerous and enormous, they are the biggest problems our society faces and they don't have easy solutions. Kinetic and other student think tanks don't aim to solve everything at once, that would be both not viable and ineffective. Kinetic aims to solve smaller issues surrounding those larger topics, and by doing that, get closer to solving the larger issue. This allows students to have a part in the fight to solve these problems and make the world a better place.
