Our Services
Teaching in today’s climate is one of the hardest jobs in the world. But the classroom is where students get to practice like they’ll play — where they can learn the skills to engage with the world thoughtfully and confidently.
We believe it’s time to make it okay again to have the conversations that matter. After all, politics at its core is just that: discussing the rules, systems, and decisions that shape our lives. Avoiding these conversations gets us nowhere. Learning to engage meaningfully can take us exactly where we want to go.
We’ve Got your Back. We help educators design experiences that build skills, confidence, and constructive pathways to action.

Ready to transform the way you teach civics? Join us for an energetic, hands-on workshop where you’ll discover how games, simulations, and play can make civic learning more engaging, inviting, and future-focused. We’ll explore why traditional civics struggles—and how playful, futures-oriented approaches help students build real skills in collaboration, communication, and decision-making.
You’ll jump into rapid game-prototyping (no experience needed!), see examples created by teachers around the world, and leave with plug-and-play tools you can use immediately in your classroom.
Walk away with:
Fresh strategies for teaching civics
Play-based techniques that reduce polarization and boost engagement
Simple game-design tools your students will love
Join us and learn how to bring civics to life—through play.

Futures Thinking Meets Civic Engagement
So many of us are clear on what we don’t want—but how do we design the futures we do want? This workshop introduces futures thinking as a powerful lens for civic learning, helping students imagine better possibilities and map the pathways to get there. Learn ‘how to citizen’ locally—from town halls to school boards to community-led initiatives—and young people need tools to engage meaningfully.
You’ll explore inspiring ideas such as future design councils, citizen dinners, and future generations leaders, and learn how to bring these concepts into your teaching through practical, engaging activities.
Walk away with:
Strategies to help students move from pessimism to possibility
Real-world, future-oriented civic tools they can use today
Concrete examples of how communities design better futures together
Empower students to shape the futures they want.

Civics Across Subject Areas
Civics isn’t just a single class—it’s how we show up, participate, and contribute to our communities and our world every day. In this hands-on series, we explore how all teachers and subject areas can feed into civic learning, helping students see that government and policy shape their lives and that they have a role in maintaining and improving it.
Through games, simulations, and real-world projects, participants will discover how to embed civic engagement across subjects—from English and science to math, social studies, art, and beyond—so students practice civic learning daily and develop pathways to meaningful participation.
Participants will:
Learn to integrate civics across all subjects and grade levels
Explore experiential approaches—games, simulations, and classroom activities—that build civic skills
Reflect on how to create ongoing pathways for student participation in their communities and the wider world
Join us to help students—and teachers—see civics as a daily practice, not a one-off course, and to empower young people to engage confidently in shaping the futures they want.

Overcoming Polarization
Civic engagement isn’t just about voting—it starts with the skills and habits we practice every day. This hands-on workshop introduces educators to the first step toward meaningful civic participation, helping students develop the foundational competencies needed to communicate effectively, work together, and solve problems in their communities.
Participants will explore how to integrate these skills across all subjects and grade levels, using interactive activities, role-playing, and discussions that give students practice navigating complexity, thinking critically, and taking constructive action.
Participants will:
Learn strategies to build core communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
Practice activities that develop foundational civic competencies
Explore ways to embed these skills across subjects and classroom contexts
Equip students to take the first steps toward meaningful civic engagement
Join us to explore how we embed the foundational skills into our subject areas.
