Many, many years from now, here’s what we’ll be telling our grandchildren… Once upon a time, people simply threw away anything they didn’t or couldn’t use anymore. Back then, children spent all their time on computers and watching TV, and playing on their parents’ phones. That’s all they wanted to do! Can you imagine what a world it must’ve been! Luckily, a few superheroes decided to change this and created the Upcycler’s Lab Learning Tools. Ok, we weren’t really superheroes, but we had something to do with saving the world! WHAT WE DO: At Upcycler’s Lab we create learning tools for children. Our learning tools are developed by a team of early education experts, curriculum developers, teachers, product designers and parents and are inspired by the Finnish education system: the best in the world. Ordering an Upcycler’s Lab learning tool means: For the children: a few hours of weekend fun. For the parents: a few hours of being able to hear your own thoughts. For the world: a generation with a whole new perspective on waste and environment. HOW WE GOT HERE: The Upcycler’s Lab is a project of The Upcycle Co. We used to make products for adults, but we realized that we were unable to achieve our ultimate goal: to create a mindset and behavioral change around waste. It dawned on us that this would be far easier with children, since they are not only more optimistic and willing to learn, but are also able to convince the adults around them to change. This is how we shifted our focus on early education.
