Empowering Youth Through Radical Education:

Teaching Adaptation, Resilience, and Regeneration to Redesign the Future.

About This Project.

Emerging from the exploration of a Master’s thesis in Design for Sustainability at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), Future Humans Lab™ is the guiding framework for reimagining education for uncertain futures.

This project explores how education must evolve to empower the current and future generations to navigate uncertain futures—ecological, social, and technological—with wisdom, creativity, and care.

Rooted in systems thinking and place-based learning, Future Humans Lab™ is an alternative educational framework focused on regeneration, interdependence, and connection to your local environment.

By taking this survey, you’ll help shape a new kind of learning—one that’s grounded in the challenges you face and the futures you hope to create.

Thank you for contributing to this vision for what's possible.
