Our Goal:
To make innovation as cool as music and as exciting as sports!

Revolutionizing Project-based Learning

The Innovation Project and Innovation Fair are part of a much broader vision that, we hope, will eventually include Innovation Fairs in other regions, states and maybe even a national fair.
We invite and encourage students and teachers from all high schools to participate!

Over the last ten years, Digital Safari Academy at Mt. Diablo High School in Concord has developed and refined the Innovation Project Model™ as a framework for project-based teaching and learning. The results have been impressive - teachers report a "dramatic improvement in the quality of student work and student engagement in class." Teachers have adapted the Innovation Project Model to other subjects saying that it has "revolutionized" how they teach.

Inspiring Our Youth ... and Changing Lives!

As recent international test scores have shown, our 15 year-olds rank 24th internationally in math literacy and 20th in science - not acceptable in the ever more intense globally competitive economy. We need to take a "farm team" approach to raising the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators – start them young and give them lots of opportunity to practice along the way.

How do we motivate our youth to reach for the stars? By tapping their creative (even playful) spirits. Creativity and innovation are inherently fun. We are committed to inspiring more young people to be innovative in whatever career they choose to pursue. The world needs many more innovative thinkers to tackle the many problems and challenges we face. And for some students – particularly for those of less affluent backgrounds – innovation can be a very real pathway to a new life.

Invest in Our Future Innovators!

Every year our country spends millions on youth sports and entertainment yet almost nothing on programs that encourage our young people to be innovators and entrepreneurs. We need your support! Your personal or business contribution will go a long way to helping us develop our next generation of innovators who will be the foundation of our country's future prosperity.
