We are Cambridge Public Schools students and iFp Teen Creatives. Many of us live within walking distance of Kendall Square - the most innovative square mile on the planet. However, the amazingness is happening without us. Are we not the future of this City? If so, why are we not being groomed to be future leaders in Kendall? Since the Fall of 2020, we have been asking the question: How much of a difference can 2 Blocks from the most innovative square mile on the planet make? Two blocks represent the distance from Kendall Square, one of the most well-resourced communities in Cambridge, MA to the most economically challenged. Our research has led us to believe that educational disparities are at the root of this issue. As 2 Blocks moves into the action phase, we are (have been) convening key stakeholders to move the project forward. Collectively we agree that educating today’s youth requires a systems approach that includes education, business, government, nonprofit, community, and youth. Learning experiences must be inspirational and relevant. Learners must be able to connect the dots between their interests and career opportunities. And this must start early (Career Awareness K-5, Career Exploration 6-8, and Career Immersion 9-12). Lastly, access to opportunities must be equitable and provided in a sustainable manner.
