ABOUT US
Why We Exist
In the 1960s, NASA researcher George Land tested creative capacity across age groups.
At age five, 98% of children scored at the genius level in imaginative problem-solving.
By adulthood: 2%.
Creative thinking isn't lost. It's trained.
YG exists to reverse that.
What We Do
Most programs teach students what to make. YG teaches students how to think through applied arts and design.
Technical skill matters, but technique built on borrowed ideas produces forgettable work.
What we cultivate is rarer: students with a clear point of view, the discipline to pursue it, and the ability to create work that couldn't come from anyone else.
Our Focus
One objective: unlock each student’s creative potential so they can pursue meaningful, ambitious work in the age of AI. That means helping students recognize what they’re genuinely good at and create work that signals originality.
We don’t prescribe a path. We provide the structure for students to build their own.
Our Principles
The Three Qualities We Cultivate
Technology and AI are integrated as tools.
Human judgment remains central.
Ready to do serious work?
Spots are limited. Students are selected, not just accepted. If you're ready to build something that couldn't have come from anyone else, this is where you start.
