I’m Brent Wheelbarger, Co-Founder and Chief Imagination Officer at Kidvation Global and also CEO of Trifecta Communications. Over decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of education, technology, and youth innovation, helping young minds turn ideas into impact. Kidvation Global emerged from that journey: to give students aged 8–15 the ecosystem, tools, and community to think like problem-solvers.

At Kidvation, I help design the curriculum, oversee platform development, and guide strategic partnerships. We run a dual model, Applied Imagination™ curriculum for learners, and the Marketplace of Ideas for students to showcase their products. My goal is to build confident changemakers who see problems as opportunities and act on them.
