It is the most important skill set anyone can have in the 21st century. If kids were able to learn it, so will we. And the best way to learn technology is by play. > > Matej, CEO & Founder of MineAcademy [Tweet](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Technology+is+the+greatest+equalizer.+It+is+the+most+important+skill+set+anyone+can+have+in+the+21st+century.+If+kids+were+able+to+learn+it%2C+so+will+we.+And+the+best+way+to+learn+technology+is+by+play.+%E2%80%94+Matej%2C+CEO+&_Founder_of_MineAcademy&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmineacademy.org%2Fmission.md) **The problem** we see today is that our society is becoming a passive consumer of technology. Few individuals control the rapid technology growth while most people passively consuming it without understanding how it works, and how to influence it. **Our vision** is an idea to reality, moving future generations from being passive consumers to active creators by giving them the tools and knowledge they need to create anything they desire. **We believe** that, technology is the greatest equalizer and the easiest opportunity for us to start creating. We also believe that the best way to teach technology should be fun and lightheaded, and that Minecraft is the best videogame to teach technology with. **Our mission** is to release world’s best courses that will show people how easy it is to create anything they desire. To teach people how to build and run amazing Minecraft plugins and servers, and create companies and projects way beyond just Minecraft, on their own terms. Below are our **company’s principles** that guide us while making decisions. ### 1. Customer obsessed What's best for the customer is best for us. ### 2. Honesty All claims must be genuine, tested and authentic. Pushing marketing without value will hurt the company in the long-term. ### 3. Simplicity Intuitive software = less customer tickets *(We learned a lot from ChatControl which became quite complex).* ### 4. Common sense Figure it out, take initiative, think independently. ### 5. Excellence Commit to excellence in everything you do.
