ABOUT
The TEN Project was founded to unearth the true value of kids’ creativity (especially those around TEN years old) in solving key global issues.
“I think it’s a great and profound idea. Given that kids are now a third of the world, mobilizing them, getting them involved and making the most of their creative capacities to fulfill their lives and solve some of the problems around us – I don’t think there’s a bigger mission than that and I think it’s just a great project and I’m happy to help with it” - Sir Ken Robinson speaking about TEN.
Our current focus issue is: FUTURE CITIES.
The cities our kids will build, must be better. We cannot afford to exclude kids’ inspiration from their future urban environments any longer. Learn why here, and check out our product in development here.

Interested in what you’re doing/creating. Is this program intended to be implemented in the classroom at all, or is it solely an after-school org?

Yes indeed; we are developing a prototype that can run in classroom and have a couple of schools keen to try it within curricular time. Schools have expressed interest in using it as a tool to accompany social sciences, language, and STEM (Science, tech, engineering, math) classes. Thanks for the comment, and please feel free to email me – thetenproject@gmail.com with any questions or just to stay in touch,
John
