School Events: Educational Experiences for Kids

The last thing you want for kids is a boring school assembly with long lectures and impractical advice.

But even the most entertaining public speakers leave students with only a short-term impact. Kids should love the presentation, but they should also return to the classroom more interested and excited than ever to explore and learn more.

Jared’s school events strive to create an interactive educational experience that leaves a lasting impact. Teachers should be able to build upon the excitement and continue to cultivate a life-long love of learning.

Jared is currently featuring two new events based on his most recent books:

The Gospel According to Video Games

This interactive presentation will provide a new and unique way of looking at Christianity through popular video games. Both virtual and in-person options are available.

From Goals to Gold: Inspiring Track & Field Stories

Inspired by some of the most incredible track & field stories in history, kids will set big goals for their future whether they are runners or not.
