Return to the Innovation Lab

Five years after I helped to design and create Campbell's Innovation makerspaces with RAFT, I returned to teach in the Innovation program at several CUSD schools.

Hi! I'm Jason Pittman, welcome to my website.

I use this space to collect my notes and journal about the work I've done. I hope that by sharing about this work broadly I am able to inspire other educators, designers, artists, and leaders. As well, by sharing my excitement for these innovative projects, I intend to put up a beacon to connect with other like minded artists and creators in search of new collaborations. Welcome!

Join Me

I'm always excited to find new collaborations and new opportunities to create, especially when we are designing for positive change. If I can help you bring your indeas to life, please get in touch!
