Mind in the Making is a national movement that aims to keep the fire for learning burning in the eyes of children and adults alike. Founded in 2000 by Ellen Galinsky, this organization is dedicated to sharing scientifically based research and strategies for promoting essential life skills. Galinsky's research journey involved reviewing over 2,000 studies and conducting in-depth interviews with leading researchers in child development and learning.

From this, she developed a framework of seven essential life skills that every child needs. For nearly two decades, Mind in the Making has transformed groundbreaking research into practical applications to build these essential life skills in children and adults. The program takes cutting-edge research and applies the principles of engaged learning to adult education, allowing adults to better understand how children learn and what they need to learn.

By offering training, skill-building opportunities, and resources, Mind in the Making has reached millions of people in communities across the country. To learn more about these essential life skills, the organization offers a book, training, skill-building tips, and opportunities. Connect with Mind in the Making through their newsletter or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
