Inquiry-based learning is used in elementary and secondary schools to help students develop indispensable skills: critical thinking, problem solving, information literacy, deliberative reasoning, creativity, empathy, and citizenship knowledge.

Our collaborative platform is designed to help teachers in K-12 access university experts to support inquiry and project-based learning - almost like a human textbook. We take requests from teachers and create meaningful connections the right academic researchers in the humanities, social sciences, arts and beyond.
