Funded by a grant through Holistic Think Tank, HRP has co-created a full interdisciplinary curriculum aimed at 6th-8th grade (yet adaptable to any age). Through 2024, we will continually release more resources to support educators. These works are still in development.These initial six lessons: Artificial Intelligence, Childism, City Planning, Democratic Action, Pitch Your Invention!, and Reverberating Impact highlight the wide umbrella of topics aimed at instilling a sense of wonder and community action. Each lesson, which ranges from 45-90+ minutes, is designed to be adaptable within existing courses while supporting coordination across multiple subject areas. Facilitation and student guides are available for all.

Video games are incredibly complex and difficult...yet almost everyone plays them. At the beginning of every game you must learn how to play it, which isn't easy yet still is so fun!

This package contains resources that pair with our 30 minute YouTube release, including guided notes for the video and interactive activities for systems-thinking.
