XQ Institute is launching XQ: The Super School Project, a challenge to reimagine and design the next American high school. Harnessing the best of American ingenuity in cities and towns across the country, XQ aims to help spark a movement to rethink the American high school—an institution that was designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution and hasn’t changed in more than a century.
“Our nation is radically different than it was 100 years ago. Nearly every aspect of our daily lives—from how we communicate to how we work and play—has changed dramatically,” said Laurene Powell Jobs, Chair of the board of XQ Institute. “But our high schools have stayed frozen in time. Together, we have an opportunity to help fuel a movement for students, to inspire great high schools, and even to rethink school itself. Our passion at XQ is to help educators everywhere foster students who are curious, engaged, and creative—armed with the new literacies, knowledge, and skills needed to thrive,” she added. “To do that, we must use our collective imagination.”
From the Model T to the Tesla and the switchboard to the smart phone—everything has changed except for how we prepare our kids for the future. XQ: The Super School Project is a rallying call to America to change the outdated model that has failed to prepare our students for the demands of the global economy, and an open call to every community to rethink high school for today and tomorrow. XQ Institute will provide a fund of $50 million to support at least five selected schools over the next five years. It will also partner with them to provide expert support and guidance to turn their ideas into real Super Schools that can inspire the country.

Competing against five other talented home décor bloggers, KariAnne wowed the public with her room transformation to win $5,000 for her charity of choice – the Humane Society – as well as a spot in an upcoming national FrogTape® brand painter’s tape magazine advertisement.
“When it comes to home décor, one of the easiest ways to update a room is with a fresh coat of paint, and our goal with the Paintover Challenge™ was to inspire DIYers to push their creative limits,” said Allison Shagovac, influencer marketing manager, ShurTech Brands, LLC. “All of the bloggers showcased immense creativity and talent, and we were extremely impressed with each project.”
