Work with us and other schools in the St. Louis area as we brainstorm and hone in on ideas to create wildly successful projects that captivate the entire community. Then take those ideas and build them out into actionable projects that inspire, empower, and catalyze a movement of change in your community. You will walk away from this day long workshop with the tools you need to jump start your projects! Build-a-Bear Workshop Bearquarters 1954 Innerbelt Business Ctr.

You will have time to share with one another and begin to collaborate. As a community we will brainstorm challenges and solutions you have faced in the launch of your project, connect with other schools facing similar challenges, share best practices, and meet with experts in the field. This day long workshop will again build off the skills and resources your school needs to create sustainable projects in your community.
