The Idea


Reach the people improving education.

GLEF created Edutopia Magazine to promote what works in education.


Mantra

Kids today. No previous generation has experienced anything like the current pace of transformational societal change. Yet, in light of extraordinary advancements in how we interact with each other and the world, our system of education has been frustratingly slow to adapt.
The George Lucas Educational Foundation was created to address this issue. Our vision is of a new world of learning. A place where kids and parents, teachers and administrators, policy makers, and the people they serve are empowered to change education for the better. A place where schools have access to the same invaluable technology as businesses and universities. A place of inspiration, aspiration, and an urgent belief that improving education improves the world we live in. We call this place Edutopia. And we provide not just the vision for this new world of learning but also the leading-edge interactive tools and resources to help make it a reality.
