We want to teach a repeatable process of ideation, validation, and rapid execution so that all kids are confident in their ability to innovate.”

    In this inspiring, future-forward talk, Prevette shares the tactics she and the team behind Future Design School use to teach kids ages 11-18 crucial skills like innovation, creativity, problem-solving, and product design.

Prevette tackles these challenging questions with aplomb, leaving audiences with the energy and know-how to get out there and start making change.
