Our programs are informed by decades of research in developmental psychology, self-determination theory, design thinking, and creativity science — and by two decades of practice developing these capacities in people of all ages.
Building the four core capacities — Wisdom, Intention, Leadership, Discovery — through experiential learning that meets young people where they are, not where a curriculum says they should be.
Our youth programming uses a four-level developmental progression, designed around how navigation capacity actually develops in young people. Each level builds on the last, with assessment through portfolio and practice rather than tests and rubrics.
Our prototype learner, Sawyer Greene (age 13), has been developing through this progression since 2025 — through homeschool integration, outdoor challenges, philosophical inquiry, and AI-augmented learning. His development informs everything we build.
How to integrate uncertainty navigation into existing curricula — for K-12 and higher education faculty.
We're not replacing what schools teach. We're developing what schools can't: the capacity to navigate when there's no answer key. Our educator workshops equip teachers with frameworks, practices, and assessment tools for developing WILD Intelligence alongside existing academic content.
Chris W Greene has fifteen years of experience designing and teaching innovation and entrepreneurship curricula at the university level, including multiple design thinking certifications and an Innovation Center directorship. The educator development program draws directly from this experience.
This program develops WILD capabilities in both teens and their parents simultaneously — because successful navigation requires the whole system to evolve.
Most college-prep programs teach teens to perform for admissions committees. Most parenting programs tell parents how to manage their teens. Neither addresses the real problem: both generations are navigating terrain that didn't exist a decade ago, using tools their institutions haven't caught up to.
Grounded in our own family's practice. Our son Sawyer (age 13) has been developing through the WILD framework since 2025 — through homeschool integration, outdoor challenges, philosophical inquiry, and AI-augmented learning. Andrea leads family programming; Chris brings fifteen years of university teaching in innovation and entrepreneurship to the curriculum design.
Programs for parents and families developing WILD Intelligence across generations — with younger children, with multiple siblings, or through major family transitions.
The questions parents face — What world am I preparing my children for? How do I guide them when I'm navigating the same uncertainty? — require more than advice. They require a shared language for navigation and daily practices that develop capacity across generations simultaneously.
Our family programs include daily practice guides, Socratic conversation frameworks, shared navigation experiences, and reflection tools designed for families to use together. Because the best way to develop WILD Intelligence in your children is to develop it yourself at the same time.
Studying how navigation capacity develops across age groups and contexts.
What teaching methods accelerate the development of WILD Intelligence? How does navigation capacity differ across developmental stages? What role does AI play in either supporting or undermining the development of human navigation capacity? These are the questions that inform our programming and that we intend to publish on as our evidence base grows.
Our research draws from self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan), adaptive leadership (Heifetz), creativity research (Amabile, Csikszentmihalyi), metacognition, and flourishing science (Seligman, Keyes).
