The "by girls, for girls" nature of the school is designed to support young girls, as many art programs are being cut from schools. As a result of fostering imagination and creativity, studies have shown that kids are more likely to stay in school longer as well as have more confidence in themselves. Part of the School of Doodle philosophy is for girls to be loud. While the project is still being backed on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-comedy), it's already received support from some influential women like Yoko Ono, Courtney Love, Kim Gordon and Sarah Silverman. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Free Online Highschool:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating more accessible and inclusive education options for young people. - **Empowering Young Girls:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new platforms and programs that empower and support girls in their personal and educational growth. - **Art and Creativity Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagining art education in traditional schools to foster imagination, creativity, and confidence. ### Where This Applies - **Education Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating online platforms and tools to enhance education accessibility and effectiveness. - **Gender Equality and Empowerment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing initiatives and resources that promote gender equality and empower young girls. - **Art Education Programs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovating art education strategies and curriculum to meet the changing needs of students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Youth Arts Master Classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outschool.md) - [Empathy-Building Play Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-barbie-school-of-friendship.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Youth-Focused Coding Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-liza-dolls.md) - [AI-Powered Drawing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-play.md) - [Online Exploitation Education Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childhelp.md) - [AI Art Tutors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-draw.md) - [Adult Animated Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-comedy.md) - [High School Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/school-of-sport.md)
