What our partners are saying

"We all agree that it was a smashing success, thanks to your leadership. The students really responded well to the tasks and had a ton of fun. The level of critical thinking that you drew from them was impressive and this is exactly what we look for at VIS. The efficient use of time and flow from activity to activity was smooth and kept students engaged throughout."

"The workshop was very interactive and engaging! Several youth mentioned how much they enjoyed learning about design thinking a week after the workshop was hosted. Ryan and Angela are flexible and responsive to the concerns/interests of youth."
