Education

Objective: All people have access to high-quality education that enables them to make the most of their innate abilities, interests, and potential

How do we do this?

• Residents convert abandoned newspaper boxes into tiny community libraries
• Join the fight to protect Little Free Libraries from city bureaucrats

Schools must be affordable

Schools should produce skilled graduates who contribute to their communities

Language Training Boosts Employment Opportunities

• Community garden turns unemployed homeless into small-scale produce entrepreneurs
• App Helps Teachers Give Feedback and Students Focus on Tasks
• Gamify the Classroom to Help Students Focus on Skills Rather Than Grades
• College partners with high school to provide graduating students an Associates Degree
