Skills
Summary
I empower kids all over the world to use their creativity and knowledge to identify and solve problems. I teach, or enhance, the skills and the character traits that enable them to create compelling futures for themselves and those around them, avoiding being victims of the many problems they may face. I run workshops and programs throughout the world, ranging from quick 1-hour to multi-week experiences. Groups range in size from just a few kids to dozens at a time, ages 10-18. There are also online resources supporting ongoing learning and interactions supporting kids who have gone through the programs and who do not otherwise have access. I offer a portfolio of types of programs with various focus areas (e.g., “green,” STEAMpunks, YIP). I work with a network of people, some of whom are subject experts in relevant areas, some are the local facilitators for my stuff and other programs, some are leaders of their own programs, which I help with. I am sometimes the one who creates the programs, and sometimes my role is to deliver other people’s programs as a consultant & facilitator.
