What will you create?
You will take your initial interviews about the challenge in your school or district and your challenge video and take it to the Google for Education Certified Innovators Academy. At the Academy, you will work with a small team and an innovative community coach. Your coach will support you before, during and after the Academy. You will experience practical design thinking sprints, work through ideas and brainstorming, prototyping, validation and proof of your idea, and finally launch your solution. You will be paired 1: 1 with a mentor from the Innovator community and work throughout the year to iterate and get support to make your project come alive!
