Awesome day in New York City this past Friday! Checked out the Skillshare office and got to meet their team and then attended their Penny Conference. Skillshare allows you to “learn anything from anyone, anywhere” through their online community that facilitates classes happening around our cities.

It was great honor to present Spark today at the University of Hartford Undergraduate Research and Creativity Colloquium. Talked about the research behind the project and where I’m currently at in designing the toolkit.

It was great to return to EduCon again this year. David Bill and I gave a workshop on bringing design thinking into education. Also, nice to see a bunch of friends and past collaborators.

Re-imagining the future of higher education this past weekend with The Third Teacher and Cannon Design was a remarkable experience.

We’re very excited to announce Spark, which is all about learning through creativity and curiosity. We are building a toolkit to prompt and inspire creativity in the classroom. 

Lots more coming soon, in the mean time check out the inspiration and trend watching blog. And don’t forget to sign up to be notified when we launch on Kickstarter.

Spark is the senior thesis project of Ethan Bodnar, a creative thinker and designer.
