Geli Alvarez

I’m a Creative Intelligence Mentor who blends art, neuroscience, and education to help kids see the world differently. I’ve taught in homeschool co-ops, private schools, and other classrooms settings for over 2 decades — including work with children living in crisis or carrying major disabilities. My sculptures are featured at Bok Tower Gardens through 2026, and I’ve painted murals for HGTV’s Hometown Takeover. In every environment I’ve taught in, one thing has never changed: When a child enters the right creative rhythm, their entire mind opens. This challenge you’re about to join is built from everything I’ve learned.
