A Planet Classroom Networkről
A bolygó tantermi hálózata, szervezője: CMRubinWorld, zenészeket hoz össze, táncosok, videojáték-készítők, filmkészítők, a világ minden tájáról érkező újító és feltörekvő technológusok szórakoztatására, nevelni és bevonni a fiatalokat, és gazdag kulturális élményt nyújtani egy olyan időszakban, amikor a művészet és az oktatási intézmények nem mindenhol érhetők el.
