Create a Skate - createaskate.org - A Program for Public Schools

Paul Schmitt has sold more skate decks than any man on the planet. He is the owner of Schmitt Stix. Do you remember the Schmitt Stix Yardstick? Check out the photo below. Definitely a tool for school.

Schmitt has a really cool program called Create A Skate where kids learn math and science while designing their own skateboard deck. Public schools can participate in his program and it's less expensive than a textbook! Have you ever tried to kickflip a textbook? Your feet just slide off.

“Professor” Paul Schmitt was quoted as saying that he wants to “Empower students of all ages to learn life lessons through the relevance of a skateboard.”

For the record:Limelight Education is not affiliated with CreateaSkate.org, we just think they have a great program.
