I am an unschooling mama, artist, and programmer. I’m building the PopSchools community to fill a need that I experience myself. I believe in the potential of all people. If there’s one thing I hope to show the children and families who participate in PopSchools it is, you matter! Your ideas and the things you care about matter. I can’t wait to see what you create.

PopSchools Community + Genius Hour
The goal of PopSchools is to create an environment where individual students can work and play in the subject areas that interest them while developing 21st century skills. During Genius Hour, students will have the opportunity to create a product starting from ideas they are passionate about pursuing.
Join the PopSchools Community
