Outcome
30+ lesson plans, tens of thousands of educators reached
The Context
Many educators were using OK Go's award-winning creative music videos in their classrooms, but the band had no offerings specifically for schools and teachers.
What we did
OK Go Sandbox is a multifaceted education initiative built with the band, OK Go. This work has reached tens of thousands of educators and students, and resulted in more than 30 new lesson plans and videos.
In addition to the online offerings, OK Go Sandbox has also created site-specific activations, classroom and conference workshops, and collaborative art projects. "Art Together Now," a 2021 OK Go Sandbox project, created 6 music videos with 15,000 global collaborators (the vast majority of whom were students and educators.)
The Evidence
Dr. Thomas is a font of curiosity and creativity whose array of skills is as broad and inspiring as her network of amazing collaborators. It’s rare to find someone in whom so much energy and optimism is paired with the responsibility and pragmatism it takes to actually get things done.
