There’s a genius within you.
What’s The Universe Within?
The Universe Within is a world-building program that will awaken the creative genius inside of you! That’s right. Nearly everyone of us, 98% percent of us to be exact, is born a creative genius. But to keep that genius alive, you’ve got to use your imagination every day.
In The Universe Within, you’ll get to stretch your imagination, work with your hands and use your intuition to tackle game-like challenges to learn about science, technology, engineering and math in a super creative artful way.
Our mission is to dispel a common myth that being a genius is a rare trait that only few possess.
The purpose of the curriculum is to show you how to spark the natural creative genius in of you. This is an online place where you can imagine, invent, make, and share your original world building creations with others!
Our program goals
Encourage you to love science, technology, engineering, art and math subjects and careers.
Through The Universe Within, we are encouraging females and minorities to learn STEAM in a way that feels comfortable to you. You don’t need to site in your chair and listen to lectures all the time to learn! This is discovery learning.
A recent Pew report shows that Hispanics are the most underrepresented in STEM fields, making up 8% of the STEM workforce but 17% of all US workers.
Increase and use your natural creative intelligence.
The Universe Within will help you love STEAM while also upping your creative intelligence. You can learn more about creative intelligence by reading Dr. Kim’s The Creativity Crisis report.
This report discovered American creativity in decline since the 1990s. Dr. Kim attributes the decline to high-stakes testing. The latest report reveals that the problem is only getting worse.
Increase imaginative thinking abilities to increase your natural-born genius.
Our solution to increasing your creative intelligence is to emphasize divergent (imaginative) thinking to increase your natural born creative genius.
Dr. George Land, inventor of a highly effective creativity test, was hired to find the most innovative engineers and scientists for NASA, proved that all of us are born creative geniuses.
Land tested a cohort of 1600 students and found their “Genius Level scores plummeted with age: 5 year-olds tested 98%, 10 year-olds tested 30%, 15 year-olds tested 12%. Testing 280,000 young adults, he found “Genius Level scored declined to 2%.
Bring back your skills and knowledge to pre pandemic learning levels.
We do this by encouraging you to observe, invent and apply apply what you’ve learned to create your own world and solve problems that you care about. The program also will give you opportunities to expose yourself to concepts beyond your grade level, which will put you ahead in academic learning.
In addition to improving academics, this program will increase your creativity, focus, social-emotional, spatial-mechanical,
and resiliency skills. These skills will help you expand careers you may want to pursue later. In the here and now, the program will give you concrete ways to improve your life and develop positive character traits.
