GET TO KNOW EAST COUNTY BLACK INNOVATORS

San Diego 4.0 is honored to be the world's first large-scale community project honoring our proud history of black innovators through the first three industrial revolutions. We honor their memories as Main Street USA takes its next big leap forward. East County San Diego is repeating history by deploying new technology to rethink learning and how we connect with local history. Let's move forward by learning the lessons from our past.

WORKING TOGETHER

Our community project seeks to align with Chambers of Commerce, city governments, local historical societies, school districts, religious leaders, and nonprofits. Our non-political approach will bring Main Street back together and help us move forward.

PHASE ONE

Our three-phase campaign becomes a reality in three phases. First, we will launch the campaign's "guts" with written content and the build-out of the Virtual Reality (VR) Worlds. We aim to complete this phase in the summer of 2025.

PHASE TWO

Second, we will work with local historians, teachers, and elected officials to record the stories for display in VR Worlds, Augmented Reality, and holographic experiences. We will donate these videos to historical societies, city governments, the federal government, nonprofits, and school districts. 

PHASE THREE

Our primary mission is to be completed by America's 250th birthday on July 4th, 2026.
