Why was GripTape started?
Let’s face it. Most learning experiences you’ve had probably involved other people (a.k.a., adults) setting the goals, curriculum, deadlines, rules, and boundaries — and even grading your performance.
This robs you of the opportunity to pursue your own interests and passions in your own way.
Imagine flipping that on its head. Imagine being in the driver’s seat of your own learning.
That’s GripTape.
In 2015, we started working to create a different way to learn. Since then, more than 3,800 young people have taken advantage of the chance to learn what they want in the way they want to learn it. Now, it’s your turn!
Mission Statement
We give youth who are seeking access to resources and opportunities the support, respect, and authority to pursue learning in their own way.
