Today's education system is focused primarily on developing hard skills such as mathematics & linguistics (left side thinking). Whereas, there is little emphasis being placed on out of the box, critical, and creative thinking (right side of the brain). 2 Sides Equal believes that both types of thinking are equally important. We are dedicated to encouraging, promoting, and cultivating both logic and creativity to make an equally wholesome brain; one might say a 2 sides equal brain. This is our passion because in today's ever-changing, fast-paced global economy, both sides must be equally nourished to prepare students for what lies ahead in college, careers and all aspects of life. We believe that if we introduce and promote activities that require a creative problem solving approach that goes outside your average school curriculum, we can better prepare today's youth for the real world. They will be encouraged to use both strategic and innovative thinking together to creatively solve not just today's problems, but tomorrow's as innovative thinkers and leaders.
