Liftoff Models Reflection Tool

In December 2025, a group of young people, school leaders, technologists, researchers, and nonprofit leaders came together to explore what new learning models for ages 13–22 could look like at the Liftoff Design Sprint (read more about the gathering here). This tool is designed for you to explore the 10 innovative models that came out of that design sprint, get inspired, and reflect on how you can apply these ideas in your context.
