MeshEd Collective

MeshEd is a public benefit corporation (PBC) that builds innovative curriculum and professional development experiences for K12 schools. We believe students learn best by connecting their learning to real-world interests, challenges, and opportunities. MeshEd provides affordable project-based learning curricula to students and professional development for teachers. MeshEd’s curriculum brings together students from different socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds to build and digitally archive passion projects — and to share works of imagination, social justice, and environmental stewardship. 

All of the MeshEd Action labs foster collaboration and design thinking, culminating in digital portfolio projects that showcase students’ passions and connect them to next-generation careers. Previous projects have ranged from podcasts to short-form videos of how to reinvent and recycle your own clothing— all supported by a committed instructional team of experienced educators, student teachers, and celebrated guest experts. Our foundational framework integrates High-Quality Project-Based Learning, socio-emotional learning (CASEL), culturally-responsive teaching (CRT), digital technology standards (ISTE), and the UN Sustainable Development goals. 

The MeshEd Collective is also on the forefront of researching and developing AI technologies to enhance the educational ecosystem. MeshEd is working to craft new, groundbreaking AI-centered courses and tools to equip students with technological fluency, support students in the project-management process, streamline curriculum development, and more. MeshEd is committed to hosting symposiums and events that foster critical exploration and discussion of the interest areas that most impact today’s learners, such as AI and technology, adolescent mental health, and more.
