Today was an extra special day for some of our Out Teach team! We had the amazing opportunity to tour one of our partner's massive manufacturing facilities in Georgia. A huge thank you to Takeda's Gabriel Khouli, and the entire team, for welcoming us and showing us how Takeda's blending science and technology to deliver life-changing treatments for people. Seeing the process firsthand was a great way to start the day.
About us
Out Teach (formerly REAL School Gardens) equips teachers to unlock student performance with the power of outdoor experiential learning. Out Teach works with districts, schools, and teachers to build professional learning programs and engaging Outdoor Learning Labs to give students access to experiential learning that can change their lives, schools and communities. Real-world, experiential learning elevates student performance. But teachers need the right training and immersive learning environments to lead experiential lessons. Out Teach provides schools and districts both.

It was a great afternoon with our friends from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation. We’re thankful for their generosity to reach our own family and Silas’ experience at Alice Carlson Applied Learning Center. The school has done a fabulous job with sustaining the garden installed by Out Teach in 2004 with the help of the community and garden educators from Made Greene. A fine way to celebrate by guessing how many raspberries you can fit in your mouth...14! Thanks to Greg and the team from Sprouts in Saginaw. 😁 #SproutingHealthyCommunitiesDay

Since its founding, Out Teach has built almost 200 outdoor classrooms to transform schoolyards into dynamic places that foster a love of learning. Keeping these garden spaces vibrant and thriving for students to imagine the possibilities isn’t easy. How can we do it? TOGETHER! Many thanks to Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation for helping Out Teach and other organizations around the country grow our ability to sustain school gardens as places to foster hands-on learning and environmental stewardship. #SproutingHealthyCommunitiesDay

When Takeda steps in to support Atlanta Public Schools, change happens. #FBF to the transformation Big Dig at Benteen Elementary School, where together we built something truly special. We're excited to see how their new outdoor learning lab will inspire and transform students this school year.
As children head back to school, we’re excited to see how the nearly 300 students at Benteen Elementary School in Atlanta are inspired as they use their new interactive outdoor learning lab that we helped build last May! Employees from our Covington Manufacturing Facility and Metro Atlanta region helped build the 6,200-square-foot learning space through our ongoing partnership with Out Teach, which helps to close the gaps in STEM education and unlock the wonder of science for students by making it real, relevant and relatable. The faculty and students at Benteen will spend time outside every school day learning science principles through hands-on activities that engage all their senses. Thanks to Out Teach and Atlanta Public Schools for their partnership!
