We help schools teach creativity as a skill.

Inside the classroom you already have. We are educators. We spend the year in your timetable, with your teachers, so that students learn to make things and to think about how they made them.

Think Inside the Box - Try, Fail, Fix, Learn - Educators before equipment - Fit before ambition - Hardware is the reward - Creativity as a skill - Kept while it happens

this week's box

One constraint. One period. What the room already has.

Make something that tells you how much rain fell last night, using only what is in a pencil case and a kitchen.

Post what you made, including what did not work. The failed version is the interesting one.

Our classroom programme

Think Inside
the Box

Everyone says think outside the box. We think the box is the point.

A classroom, a timetable, thirty children, one teacher. Creativity is not what escapes those limits. It is what you do inside them.

From the founder

“I've taught in classrooms in three countries now. The challenges are different. The thing that works is always the same: a teacher who knows how to make space for thinking.”
