Tell us what your K-8 class built with FIDS. Your email client opens with a pre-filled subject and template — fill it in, send, and we’ll review what you sent and publish the strongest stories on our /share page.
How it works
Click the button below. Your mail client opens with a pre-filled subject and template. Fill in the template, send. We review submissions weekly and publish selected stories at /share.
Click the button. Your default mail handler opens a new message addressed to the DFC USA intake inbox.
Subject and template are pre-filled. You only have to fill in the blanks — teacher, school, FIDS stage, your story, and one measurable outcome.
Send. The message lands in the same inbox that welcomes new educators and admin traffic.
We review weekly. Selected stories are lightly edited for length and clarity and published at /share. We’ll reply if a story is going up.
Intake
Open your mail client with the template ready.
One click. Subject and body are already filled in. Replace the bracketed prompts with your classroom’s specifics, send, and you’re done.
Email your story →
If the button doesn’t open your mail client, send to dfcos@polsia.app with the subject “Design change story submission: [School name]”.
What we look for
A short list of what makes a story publishable. None of these are rigid — if you’re unsure, send it anyway and we’ll be in touch.
A real K-8 classroom. A teacher, a class, and what they actually did — not a hypothetical or a curriculum overview.
At least one FIDS stage reached — Feel, Imagine, Do, or Share. Stories that ran all four are great, but partial runs are welcome.
One measurable outcome. Anything you can name: a number, a behavior change, a quote from a student, a before/after.
OK to redact names. Names of teachers, students, and schools can be changed in publication to protect privacy — just ask.
One story per email. If your team ran multiple projects, send them separately so each gets its own review.
