The CEO of 826National Sees a Need for Creativity Incubation Outside of Classrooms

School, unfortunately, right now, is really about tests and it’s mostly results driven.

I look at 826 as an incubator of creativity and the unbridled passion of people creating and building things, some of which you don’t really see in schools.

You get to an 826 and we are results driven. But our ‘results driven’ is about the journey of getting there and how much fun you are having along the way in creating things. There is no test at the end of anything we do.
