Many years ago as a filmmaker I developed an interest in interactive technologies. As I began to work in this area, I realized the great potential for opening up new kinds of learning experiences for young people.

Interactive technology offered an alternative to some of the traditional approaches to education that did not work for me as a youth. As a result, I've been committed to finding ways to capture kids' natural interest in learning and engage them more actively and productively in the learning process.

Lucas Learning® reflects my own passion for learning as it creates products that have rich content in an immersive and engaging environment. I hope you enjoy the experience and that it will contribute to your own lifetime of learning.

The Lucas Commitment to Learning

In addition to his early efforts developing products for schools, Lucas founded The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF) in 1991. The Foundation was established as a nonprofit organization to promote innovative efforts to improve K-12 education. GLEF has a special interest in identifying those programs that integrate technology with teaching and learning, so that all students will be prepared to learn and live in an increasingly complex world. Highlighting the nation's best schools and telling the stories of their teachers and students continues to be one of the Foundation's priorities. GLEF has documented the success stories via products such as the Learn & Live book and documentary film, the Edutopia newsletter, Teaching in the Digital Age videos, and its web site: www.glef.org.
