My Project

Our School is proud to announce the opening of our brand-new I.D.E.A. Studio!

The I.D.E.A.Studio is a K–8 learning space where students will use the principles of design thinking to solve problems to improve situations they encounter.

In this multi-age environment, students will:

Innovate: Identify a problem.

Design: Plan a solution.

Explore: Build and test it.

Act: Implement the idea to make a positive impact on the world.

Your donation will help us start to purchase the essential materials needed to empower our students to blend academic standards with creativity and innovation. Every dollar makes a difference. It could spark a new career interest, fund a 3D-printed prototype of an innovative idea, or provide the materials needed to bring a student's imagination to life.

Please consider supporting our Philadelphia public school students as they learn to dream beyond their reality and create solutions that can change the world.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
