Global Classroom

Create change. Design the future.

A remote-learning, virtual collaboration for high school students that merges project-based learning with the neuroscience of information processing — connecting schools across the nation to build diverse teams, expand worldviews and forge meaningful relationships.

Born from the Labs.

The HATCH Impact Labs were created to bring together a diverse global community to co-create solutions for major systemic problems. The program was so successful that it inspired the Global Classroom — an innovative collaborative distance-learning solution that addresses social and emotional well-being while expanding diversity, equity and inclusion.

02

Collaboration

03

Elaboration

Design sprints turn raw insight into prototypes coached by HATCH mentors.

04

Application

Solutions ship into the world — in schools, districts and partner organizations.

Focus Areas

Where students design.

Environment

Co-create solutions for climate, conservation and the living systems we depend on.
