Submit Applications for Education Entrepreneurs Roadtrip – US

One-size-fits-all approaches have left many kids unable to act on their natural curiosities and talents. Why does school leave so many students feeling stuck? And how can they flip the models that don’t deliver what students really need?

They’re looking for people who want to actively shape the future of education by launching their own ideas to transform what K-12 classrooms look like. So if you dream of creating your own radically new education venture—a new kind of school, new technologies and platforms, new kinds of hands-on and experiential programs, and beyond—they want to hear from you!

Did you go to a non-traditional school? Do you wish you did? Do you ever wonder why so many tools and technologies are taking forever to trickle down and transform how kids learn? On this journey, you’ll see how inspiring entrepreneurs are bringing new education ideas to life all across the country—and how you can do it too.

Fueled by the Center for Education Reform, this is an experience you’ll never forget. So apply now and get ready for the next phase of your future!

They’re looking for you if?

• You’re toward the beginning of your career journey
• You want to use your natural propensity for innovation to help better everyone’s education
• You attended a microschool, were homeschooled, or had a non-traditional education
• You had a traditional education but have some big ideas for how it could’ve been better
• You’re looking for the next step on your path

What is this for?

• You’ll be applying to be part of Roadtrip Nation’s public television series about how people find their paths in life. And they want to highlight you and share your story too.
• You’ll meet education entrepreneurs creating microschools, experiential programs, new tech tools and platforms, and more, to help lay the groundwork for student success in countless ways—and you’ll have the chance to interview them about what it’s like to transform how they educate.
• Still, this is so much more than a TV show—it’s an opportunity for you to get out there, get exposure to new paths and possibilities, and talk to people whose stories can change your life.

Additional Information

• They’ll be filming in July, and they’ll work with you to schedule around your life and commitments during that time.
• All travel expenses—plus a daily stipend for personal expenses—are paid for by Roadtrip Nation. They’ll work with you to make sure the stipend covers what you need to be able to participate.
• The experience will be filmed, and you’ll be asked to share your thoughts and feelings on-camera throughout the journey. The resulting documentary may be shown on public television, and/or used in Roadtrip Nation’s educational tools.
• If selected, you’ll help plan the experience around your interests and career aspirations—so you’ll work with Roadtrip Nation to research and book interviews with the career role models you’d like to speak with.
• After filming is over, they’ll provide you with six months of free personalized career coaching and support from InsideTrack to help you pursue your life, education, and career goals.

Criteria

• Individuals who are driven, candid, and genuine, and who are ready to hit the road with them and share their personal stories on camera and with other people. This road trip typically isn’t the right fit for those who are camera-shy. You should also be up for a challenge and open to new experiences, and able to work well as part of a team.
• A driver’s license is preferred, but not necessary.
• Roadtrip Nation will also fly you to and from the start and end points of the trip.
• Roadtrip Nation pays for all travel expenses—fuel, RV maintenance, tolls, flights, etc. Roadtrippers also receive a small daily stipend for food.
