We are all designers. Why not design for a better world?

The Green Innovator is a new education program; a tool and catalyst for change in how your students see the world and everything in it. Through the lens of applied design, The Green Innovator empowers students to become designers for a more sustainable world and
community. With print, online and activity resources, it's the perfect companion to integrate math, science, language arts with real world content and critical thinking strategies.

Developed for, but not exclusivley for HIgh School students, The Green Innovator is perfect for all ages, but compliment High School science, math and technology studies perfectly. Adaptable modules
allow teachers to pick and choose from short or long-term activities that include real world case studies, hands-on activities, field studies, research opportunities and assessments. The idea of sustainability may be complex, but with The Green Innovator,
students will be able to navigate an emerging "green" field ready for challenges that will affect our shared future.
