 Zeum Education Philosophy
Zeum’s education philosophy stems from three core beliefs:
1. Creativity does not happen in a vacuum
2. Innovation is a process
3. A community of diverse learners, thinkers and DOers is critical to building a creative environment.

Through our programs, exhibits and educators, Zeum strives every day to create the most wildly creative space possible. A
space where failure not only happens, but is embraced- the more spectacular the better. A space where the imagination is
provoked through materials, exhibits and interactions. A space where our visitors work is captured, celebrated, and shared for
future visitors to build upon.

All of these programs are built upon a design process of “Imagine, Create, Share”. Zeum’s goal is to share this process via our
programming, facilitation and exhibit spaces- together with our community, we hope to develop a generation of creative
learners who embrace the 21st Century skills of Creativity, Collaboration and Communication.
