Unlearn2Learn

Definitely on my summer reading list!!

The book fueling a movement against screens in schools “The Digital Delusion” by Jared Cooney Horvath connects the collapse in standardized test scores to the rise of education technology in public schools.

ATTENTION PARENTS!!!

📱 Most teens spend summer nights scrolling through content.

What if this summer, your teen learned how to CREATE it instead?

U2L Campaign Studio is a hands-on experience where students in grades 9–12 will work with The Fields Sports Complex to build a REAL digital marketing campaign right here in our community.

Not fake projects.
Not worksheets.
Not busywork.

Students will:
🎥 Film content on location
📸 Create real campaigns
🚀 See their work used in REAL TIME by a local business
🤝 Collaborate with other creative teens
🎤 Present their campaign at our final showcase night (parents invited ❤️)

A safe, productive, creative place for teens to be on summer nights — while building real-world skills that actually matter.

⚠️ Limited to 10 students

📅 July 13, 15, 20, 22, 27 & 29
⏰ 7:00–8:30 PM

What if your teen spent this summer creating something REAL instead of just scrolling through it? 👀📱🎥

We are SO excited to officially launch the very first U2L Campaign Studio — a hands-on experience where students in grades 9–12 will work together to create an ACTUAL digital marketing campaign for The Fields Sports Complex in East Brunswick, NJ 🔥

This isn’t a lecture-based class.
This is collaboration, creativity, strategy, filming, editing, pitching, and launching.

Students will:
🎬 Film content on location
📸 Learn real-world branding & marketing skills
💡 Develop creative campaign ideas
🎤 Pitch and present with confidence
🤝 Work as part of a collaborative creative team
🚀 Build portfolio-worthy experience they can actually USE

And honestly? Parents are always asking for meaningful, productive, SAFE ways for teens to spend summer evenings. This is exactly that.

Even better — parents will also be invited to attend the final campaign presentation, where students will showcase their ideas, creative work, and finished campaign concepts together. We wanted this experience to feel bigger than just a class — something families can genuinely be proud to be part of. ❤️

Instead of another random summer program, students will be part of something authentic, exciting, social, and future-focused.

Small group. Real business. Real campaign. Real experience.

Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience hands-on and personalized.

Remember the smell of a brand-new notebook, covering your textbooks with brown paper bags, flipping open the front cover to see who had the book before you, and sharpening a pencil before class even started?

Technology was sold to parents as equity. But how is it equity when some kids have tutors, quiet homes, fast Wi-Fi, printers, and tech-savvy parents… while others have none of it? How is it equity when students already drowning in screen time are handed even more? How is it equity when children with disabilities are expected to learn through systems never designed for how they learn best?

Giving every child the same device is not equity.
Giving every child what they need to succeed is.

And real learning requires balance.

Sometimes that’s technology.
Sometimes it’s a pencil.
Sometimes it’s face-to-face teaching.
Sometimes it’s knowing when to unplug.

Education was never meant to be all pixels or all paper. It was meant to be what works.

Somewhere along the way, we lost the signal.
