NEXT.cc ee STEAM by Design

NEXT.cc STEAM by Design adds art and the environment to every subject in K12 to develop ethical imagination and environmental stewardship. We work at the interconnections of the natural and the built world, introducing what environmental design is, what human design does, and why design is essential to our sustainable future. We know our world is finite, but that imagination is infinite. We support student-led inquiry and innovation through design thinking, research, process, and making online, in the classroom, and in the community to inspire youth voice and participation in building a better and more equitable world.
