Bright Spots
Vermont Youth Shaping the Future of Education
Bright Spots is a newsletter, a project, a network, and a movement. Each month we shine light on a youth learner and their project of choice. The goal is to demonstrate the possibilities that student-centered and place-based learning has to offer, as well as give the selected student a unique opportunity to showcase their work in a more professional manner. Together, we are accelerating towards equitable and adventurous learning for all!
All content on this page is crafted by Vermont youth, and all information is shared with the learner's permission.
