YOUTH FUTURESCAPERS
fu·ture·scap·er
/ˈfyooCHərskāpər/
noun
See also: rule-breaker, daydreamer, changemaker.
A young person who refuses to accept that learning must stay the way it has always been. Someone who imagines, creates, and shares new possibilities for how learning can look, feel, and connect us. A builder of tomorrow’s schools, communities, and ideas. Part-time employees at the Center for the Future of Learning.
This summer, our Youth Futurescapers stepped forward to challenge old assumptions and sketch out bold visions of what learning can become. They shared their dreams, possibilities, and blueprints for more connected, inspiring learning communities where everyone feels they belong.
We invite you to explore their visions and return soon to experience the creative artifacts and projects they have built. Every contribution is a window into the future they are already shaping.
