Programs Overview
Our mission at Education2Success.org (Ed2S.org) is to do good for the world and promote small changes that are easily implemented on a large scale resulting in significant, impactful, positive, and lasting
environmental changes. By providing free access to continuing education and quality cost efficient alternatives from harmful single-use products, we aim to become a leading resource for green energy and
planet friendly change.
Our Innovate-A-thon program provides scholarship opportunities to high school and college level students who work and collaborate to develop solutions to real world issues. Thanks to private and corporate donors
and sponsors, Innovate-A-Thon has so far provided 74 scholarships at 17 Colleges and Universities. Our goal for these students is to learn problem solving techniques such as Identify-Ideate-Improve-Implement,
SCAMPER, and SWOTT, as well as learn to work in teams and present in public, which will encourage them to be our next generation of entrepreneurs to contribute to future positive changes in our world. We
provide a unique approach for our corporate sponsors who are offered the opportunity to submit the problem statement to a relevant issue in their industry for the students to work on. The sponsor is then able to review and take part in the judging of the student team's solutions during their final presentations. We have found this provides an invaluable opportunity for students to network, explore future career
paths, and possibly receive an internship or job offer from the sponsor. Our students have commented that this interaction with the sponsors has been by far their best networking opportunity and far better than any
form of career fair.

Our mission: To reduce the use of disposable paper products like paper towels and Kleenex. We'll advertise a series of PSAs to put a box or basket of washable cloth rags near where you have paper towels or Kleenex. Use the rags instead of the paper products, then put them in the laundry hamper or rinse/dry if needed first. Saves trees and money.

Toilet Top Sink

Saves water.
