The world we live in is evolving every second. Our society is being changed fundamentally by the impact of the internet, connected economies and disruptive technologies. But the institutions supposed to prepare the youth for this quantum shift - our schools still seem to be stuck in the status-quo.
That’s why we were born.
Through our immersive educational programs, hackathons, workshops and expeditions, we create ambitious learning environments to help students, educators and professionals unleash their full potential.
Our curriculum is never finished.
We don’t obsess about passive text-book teaching. We practice design-based learning. We believe in radical collaboration, open-ended challenges, practice based research, rapid prototyping, failing forward and agile working.
Education is our passion.
Design is our process.
We are a team of interdisciplinary, international education re-designers at Fontys based in the Brainport region, known as the world’s cradle for innovation.
Meet the team.
