Academia - With the help of school districts and university professors, we aim to create a curriculum filled with enriching and engaging content using new AI technologies, brought straight to the classroom.
Corporates - By bringing in corporations, we can introduce a new aspect of sustainability education, centered around the actions and effects of corporations in the sustainability realm. Additionally, we would be reaching out to corporates to sponsor and fund competitions and content creation.
Social Channels - Introducing SEED to social channels not only helps us target students directly, but also parents and educators as well. Through a seamless process, we would be able to reach a large audience with little to no cost.
