We work with schools around the world to bring learning alive.
By helping educators increase student engagement and achievement, we are preparing our young people for success in the new economy as empowered creative problem solvers.
Our Purpose
We have experienced again and again that students can learn faster than they can be taught… when they have a reason to learn that connects to their own lived experiences and interests.

Empowered
When students realize that we truly believe in them and their potential to change the world, we become authentic co-learners with them. Through experiences that spark their own interests and curiosities, engagement increases, their learner identity improves and, inevitably, so does their academic achievement. Young people quickly build confidence and courage when we open up the possibility that their natural curiosities will lead them to a sense of their own empowerment.
Creative
The original Latin definition of genius is innate spirit. We believe that there is an innate creative genius within each of us. To unleash it, we must create the conditions for learning to lead to personal meaning that inspires a collective purpose. The world needs creative learners who have been equipped to ask the important questions, explore, and generate scalable solutions, and communicate and collaborate across borders, languages, and cultures to implement those solutions. We need to challenge them to brilliance.
Problem-solvers
Humans need to feel empowered to create regenerative solutions to big problems, beginning with unprecedented mental health challenges among our young people. With the climate crisis causing a rapid loss of ecosystems and fertile land, the ambivalence to civil discourse, and the blurring lines between facts and falsehoods, the urgency is powerfully felt.
The world needs us to act now.
