Education Course Curriculum

The foundation of our future rests in the actions of our hands now and the growing minds of our youth. SEED believes education is the most valuable investment.

.

For this reason we have developed and are openly providing a hands-on, team building curriculum that stimulates S.T.E.M based learning and sustainability. By encompassing everything we have discovered and created we hope to empower others through action and learning. 

​

We are currently working with schools, students and educators on finalizing our curriculum so we may provide a basic framework for all ages. This allows anyone to learn and teach the fundamentals while giving teachers the ability to expand upon their students grade level.  Below is an outline of what the curriculum will cover. Make sure to keep connected to stay informed about our curriculum launch in the coming months!
