This document discusses how students at S.G.H.S used an app called Colar Mix to design shoes representing how they want to use their knowledge from an education program called Minds Alive to make positive changes. Several students shared issues in the world they want to address such as reducing smoking, child abuse, domestic violence, war, cancer, climate change, and parental contact after divorce. The goal is for these students to be defined by how they use information to help people rather than just gaining knowledge.
