WHAT WE DO
While many still evaluate learning based on what kids know, we inspire action through a human-centered, AI-leveraged approach that addresses the most important future-ready mindsets and builds agency, collaboration, and real-world solutions.
PROBLEM
By focusing narrowly on academic content, our education system rarely inspires the agency, imagination, and future-ready collaborative skills learners need to thrive. This gap stops students from moving beyond knowledge to action and impact. Exemplified by over 4 million Gen Z young people not in work, education, or training (NEET) and only 26% of tenth graders saying they “Love School.” Down from 74% of 3rd graders reporting a love of school.
SOLUTION
Learners crave opportunities to learn in novel ways and collaborate on projects that truly matter to their communities. Our human-centered, AI-leveraged approach puts them in the driver’s seat, empowering action and real impact. Leading to students who feel empowered and engaged with learning experiences that prepare them for a a fast changing world.
