Earl Center
For Learning and Innovation
Vision
The Earl Center for Learning and Innovation is a collaborative space for social dreaming and radical hope. A space where youth and adults, learners and teachers, researchers and designers join together in expansive inquiry to develop educational experiences animated by commitments to creativity, dignity, justice, and mutual flourishing.
Mission
As a participatory research community, we are committed to developing learning ecologies creatively responsive to the complexities of the world as it is and as it could be. Working at intersections of STEM, humanities, and the arts, we design ecologies where youth grow as engaged and critical authors of connected social futures.
