Educators

We create learning experiences that engage students

Our customized programs can be delivered in-person and online – whichever best supports your learning objectives.  Plus, we take care of all of the instructional materials, so you don’t have to.

How can Y2 help your school?

Experiential and hands-on learning increases student engagement

Student-centred approach alternates between instruction and hands-on work time, so students learn by doing and gain key skills relevant at school and in any career pathway: critical thinking, problem solving, writing, public speaking, collaboration, communication, digital literacy and budgeting.

Customizable programs

We customize SHSM ICE (Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship) training and Problem-Based Learning programs to meet the needs of each teacher, class and industry sector. Whether you want a 1-day session or a program that spans weeks or months, we can customize a program to meet your needs.

Design thinking training for teachers

Y2 trains teachers to bring design thinking workshops into their schools within days, not months. Teachers participate in a design thinking workshop, learn to plan their own workshops, and receive customizable training materials. Co-teaching opportunities help build in-school expertise.

Jonathan Singh

Teacher with the York Region District School Board

"Essentially, Y2’s unwavering commitment in the classroom focuses on the hallmark of critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. Y2’s approach on learning cost me no additional work at all and I used the student pitches for an oral assessment mark! A valuable and indispensable program that I highly recommend to all educators.”

“This conference changed my life. Today, a little over two years after I attended the program, I have founded an award-winning tech startup, will be representing Canada at the Stanford ASES Summit in April 2017, and was accepted into Draper University (a 7-week intensive entrepreneurship program in Silicon Valley, founded by Tim Draper – a billionaire venture capitalist).”

Pass on knowledge you wish you learned earlier

Don’t let the next generation spend valuable time making the same mistakes you did. Teach them sooner so they are better prepared for success.

Students will learn techniques and outcomes needed to make their own decisions.

You will inspire future leaders

You can become a role model or mentor for students looking for guidance.

Your references can be advantageous to students looking to get a competitive edge in college/university.

Expose them to real-world situations in the business world

Recount difficult situations and how you overcame them to achieve the success you have now.

Teach them more about entrepreneurship than any business textbook ever could.
