OUR JOURNEY:

Even in innovative learning spaces true co-creation is hard to achieve. It started with a group of young people in Denver, CO, called Future 10X. With the drastic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, young people advocated and the movement evolved into the Enduring Ideas Fellowship with the Reinvention Lab. Since then we have worked to establish the Reinventors.

Our Goal:

to create a space where youth feel seen, heard, and supported as they co-create with adults. Our youth perspective helps make decisions that better respond to the needs of young people in schools.
