ConnectED is thrilled to begin partnering with Education Through Imagination, a division of Garner Holt Productions, the world’s leading manufacturer of theme park animatronics. Along with its award-winning AniMakerspace program, Education Through Imagination is producing products and services to provide students with a strong foundation in creativity, innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship that will help ensure that students are college and career ready.

While an Animakerspace and these other products can make important contributions to any school, ConnectED believes that they can be even more powerful when aligned with college and career pathways. Pathways provide a structured framework for capitalizing on the story telling, technology, engineering, visual and performing arts, production management, and quality control that are at the heart of the Education Through Imagination’s work. We are so excited to begin this important collaboration and will have more to share in the New Year!
