I loved doing this innovation challenge, because it was an opportunity for us as children to share our ideas about ways to save the world, which would make everyone very happy. It was good because there were no limits on ideas. We could draw diagrams and make models which makes it easier to explain the ideas and how they work. I loved that Elaine was very positive and encouraging." James, 10 years old

Why create innovation idea challenges and labs?
Playing with ideas around the problems that we want to solve, empowers us all to imagine new possibilities, solutions and know how to find ways forward.
Imagination is our starting point for ideas, innovation and impact.
I'll show you how to create your challenges and labs as fun, inclusive, interactive ‘change-maker spaces’ for every young person.
As they play with ambiguous questions, download ideas, riff on themes, mash up concepts, dream big and bring new solutions designed around the flourishing of the planet, you'll be building their wellbeing and skills, giving them a starting point for making their impact as changemakers.

From the very first interaction I had with Elaine, two things were clear: she knew what she was talking about and she had what it takes to help my students raise the game. Elaine was easily reachable and extremely proactive, which meant that she already had a strong sense of what we were trying to achieve before she had even set the foot in our school. Sharing the core values of our school as well as deeply connecting with her target audience, Elaine led our students to go beyond what I thought them capable of, embracing and making their own the notions of 'value proposition', 'value chain structure', 'profitability model' as well as 'social, ecological and leadership awareness'. Suddenly the UN Sustainable Development Goals were no longer an element you needed to refer to at some point in your presentation but a clear call to action that resonated in all the students' decisions...'
