EMPOWER VOICE & CHOICE
What If 101 Anywhere is designed to empower middle schoolers by giving them voice and choice in their education. What If 101 allows students to choose what they explore and how they engage and express new ideas. In each Adventure, students pick from one of four unique Creator Roles – The Story Teller, The Change Maker, The Invention Builder, and the Creative Designer.

LEARN DESIGN THINKING
TomTod Ideas empowers middle schoolers to create ideas that matter. In What If 101 Anywhere, we explore the design thinking methods used by the most innovative companies in the world. To solve real-world problems, students will work together to create lots of ideas. We test out those ideas by building prototypes. Then we refine, re-evaluate, and reimagine until they have an idea that will help their community thrive!

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY
We make learning an adventure by helping students create ideas that put empathy and imagination into action. In What If 101 Anywhere, we explore community assets and challenges by connecting with real community leaders. With expanded empathy and understanding, students are challenged to help their community thrive by creating and planning real ideas to help others.
