Boredom is the New School: How Free Time Inspired Two Students to Support Their Community


Listen Later

In the last episode of the season and our last in our student voice and empowerment series, Kip interviews Rachel and Michael, two high school students in California. They share how their boredom while quarantined at home during remote learning led to their effort to create Coronaviruswalk.org - a website that encourages walking outside and donates proceeds to a local medical center to support healthcare workers.  Inspired by Rachel and Michael, we ask - How can schools encourage students to pursue creative endeavors by allowing more time for intentional boredom? Learn more about Rachel and Michael's efforts by following @coronaviruswalk or #coronawalk
