Mission and Program Overview
Mission
We believe if we introduce and promote activities that require creative problem solving, we can better prepare today's youth for the real world. They will be encouraged to use both the left and right sides of the brain together to creatively solve not just today's problems, but tomorrow's as well. Today's educational system is focused primarily on left-brain thinking (mathematics & linguistics), with little emphasis on right-brain divergent thinking and creative problem solving. At 2 sides equal we believe both sides of the brain are equally important, and that, in today's ever- changing, fast-paced global economy, both sides must be equally nourished to prepare students for what lies ahead in college, careers and all aspects of life.
