"I began to envision a larger message, a message about how to help kids live in our changing world. I imagined a caring, integrity-enriched, adult problem-solver of the 21st Century--and I worked backwards. What would we need to teach our children & how would we need to teach them in order to set them on the path of becoming a problem solver who cares?"
