It’s not about the stuff.  It’s not about things to buy or expensive furniture.  It’s not about acronyms and what letters to include, (STEAM, STEM, po-tay-to, po-ta-toe).

It’s about so much more than that.

Making is not a “thing” it’s a way of thinking, connecting, and sharing.  It’s about WHO you are, what you are PASSIONATE about, and what you LOVE. What MOVES your soul?

I realize how cliche that sounds.  I realize there’s a battle waged in our schools over standards and  scores.

But I realize that saving our kids from that is more important than anything. And you know what… when we save our kids, we just might save ourselves, too.   We can get back to the heart of learning. Play. Intentional fun. Engagement in authentic experiences.  Work that is hard and fun, challenging and joy filled.  School that doesn’t just teach facts and knowledge but that builds character, understanding, connections, and learning experiences day by day.
