Empower the creativity revolution in schools

Our mission is to empower students to be creative learners, and provide tangible connections between what happens in schools and industry. This philosophy is supported by instructional design models grounded in industry product development, best practices in project-based learning, and work experiences building modern software and programs. Example projects.

Connecting the dots between industry and education.

Are you passionate about creating products that impact teachers and learners?

Crafting digital art, coding a video game, or designing a spacesuit inspired by biomimicry represent projects where learners apply their skills in real world tasks. Moreover, creative projects provide a medium for students to create artifacts that can result in feelings of accomplishment, an artifact they can share with peers and community, an outcome that can have an impact on the people around them or in the world. This outcome oriented, real world experience is very compelling, and is part of a large community where topics like project-based learning, creativity, STEM, and other authentic learning experiences are driving education reform.

Getting in a room with students and teachers to workshop a STEM project, design a new app, or talk about industry case studies is something we can do together. One theme we bring to this work is connecting the dots between what the students are learning and how these activities take shape in work life. How do writing and presentation skills benefit technical and non-technical roles? What is the process for building software or hardware? What roles are needed for projects like manufacturing a hybrid car or small projects like crafting a marketing campaign? These types of questions provide connection points to what a student is learning and what is possible in their future work.

If these topics are of interest to you, let’s connect.
