Let's Invest in the Future of Education
Our mission is to bring forth a new understanding and awareness of West Virginia's education system. Many students in public schools throughout our state are disadvantaged, whether it be through economic status or education quality. In Tunnel of Awareness our exhibit, we aim to show how difficult reaching success can be for these students, all through an interactive journey where you get to be the one moving through the game of L.I.F.E, allowing you to see where your and others' experiences lead you.
“West Virginia can no longer strive to explain away and excuse the disservice being provided to its students. Each child educated in the Mountain State deserves an education that delivers skills, knowledge, and independence from poverty. While our state constitution outlines that all children will receive a free education, Section One of Article XII states that education will be thorough and efficient.”
-Local WV Businessman
"To the extent that you put a lid on innovation, and as it relates to education, you're putting a lid on potential."
