Torch
A documentary and podcast focused on elite athletes who are blazing a new path for healthier, more inclusive competitive arenas, including Lauren Kuntz, who launched the world's first ever gender inclusive Icosathlon while breaking the world record, and Katelyn Ohashi, viral Olympic gymnast, mental health advocate, and film feminist.
At a time when a record 4B+ people will vote in democratic elections, Torch highlights the women who are taking up more space in the competitive arenas of sports to pose the question: how does building healthier athletic arenas translate to real world impact?
Our Projects
SustAInable
We're putting the AI in Sustainability by empowering high school students to cultivate a global AI chatbot repository of sustainability projects.
Our pilot project is being developed in partnership with Howell Conservation Fund, Sacred Heart, and science professor Alyson Tockstein, to teach several dozen students prompt engineering, tech ethics, and science communication. The project culminates in a curriculum that can scale to additional classrooms, and a sustainability chatbot that helps students understand what actions they can take to improve their health and the health of our planet.
iDream
iDream is an interactive media curriculum which helps highschool students learn about careers in STEM.
In iDream, a group of high school friends are confronting an uncertain future: what to do after graduation, whether they should go to college, how they would make that happen, and what they might study. They are encouraged by their dynamic teacher-turned-guidance counselor who has her own backstory about working in the high tech world. She helps them to explore the possibilities of STEM careers. Interactive episodes enable viewer engagement with the characters as they begin to discover their places in the world even as they struggle with the obstacles – personal, family and academic – that might prevent them from achieving their dreams. Along the way, they meet STEM stars, past and present!
