Through semester-long programs we're experimenting and creating learning experiences where teenagers make things and tell stories about real issues — amplifying issues that often go ignored, with a special focus on natural systems.
We're exploring the kind of projects teenagers can do when they're working in small, mixed-age groups and when they're given contiguous, immersive time. Based on our experiences, these conditions allow individuals to participate in projects in new ways, and gives them more opportunities to really dig in, find their passions, and authentically connect with themselves, each other, and real issues they care about.
