Time to Transform Education

Here's the Situation;
  • Nevada ranks 50th in the nation for student opportunity (Ed Week, Quality Counts Report Card 2020)
  • Less than 15% of Nevada’s students are prepared to succeed in college and career (ACT 2020) 
  • COVID has only made matters worse as Nevada was far from prepared for distance education. Every day our young people fall further behind. Those who were disadvantaged before are losing the most learning (McKinsey, June, 2020). Parents are struggling to become teachers while teachers are struggling to keep students engaged without the technology and programs to do so.

Here's the Solution
The Education Innovation Collaborative (EIC) was created to solve these problems - through transforming the system. EIC has a plan to turn this crisis around and position Nevada as a leader in the new paradigm of student-powered learning. We believe that enabling all children in Nevada to become independent and collaborative learners, online at home and in enhanced schools and community places, is the path to success for education in Nevada - and beyond.  Our team of experts has been working with Nevada’s vanguard of innovators and leaders to design a roadmap to a future in which ALL students thrive to their full potential. 

What’s the key to this future? Empowering every learner, of every age, to design and own their learning as self-directed masters - as Selfpreneurs* of their best life. These passion-driven learners will be highly collaborative, creative, compassionate, and ready to make the world a better place to live.

To achieve these critical, challenging shifts, we envision Power Learning Labs in every community -- virtual and physical spaces and resources where students engage in REAL learning challenges that build their capacities to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable world.

Power Learning Labs will enable the shift by:
  • Integrating latest technologies, learning sciences, & goals to personalize learning
  • Unleashing each individual’s strengths and passions to empower self-direction
  • Collaborating to solve real-world challenges in communities and workplaces
  • Having a caring coach team of peers, parents, experts, counselors, and mentors
  • Developing leaders who inspire a culture of student-powered learning


Here’s How You Can Help
Sponsor students to join Design Clubs where they collaborate with community members to design and prototype a world class Power Learning Lab. Our budget is $200,000 for each site. 
  • For $50, become a member of EIC and help students with design
  • For $100, sponsor a student in a Design Club 
  • For $1000+, support a Design Club team 

​During this holiday season, we count our blessings to have caring community members and generous donors like you. Thank you for your support!
