our story

The Wouldn't It Be Cool If... Organization was birthed out of several conversations between educators in rural NC. A group of crazy, fearless teachers and their wonky principal, Dr. Chandra Sledge Mathias, were pushing the envelope, thinking of ways to bring content to life for their students and to create enriching and purposeful experiences with their students.  Chandra often gets a mischievous twinkle in her eye and then the question follows, "Wouldn't It Be Cool If...?"  Pretty soon, something innovative, inspirational, adventurous, and educational evolves.  The organization currently revolves around three priorities: education innovation, global education, and impactful educational connections.  Tour our site to learn more about our current initiatives!
