Welcome to
ThreadPoint .
ThreadPoint sits where internet safety, digital citizenship, and infrastructure literacy meet — using stories and hands-on learning to help children understand not just how to stay safe online, but how the digital world really works.
We bridge classrooms, communities, and industry — turning complex systems into stories that every child can understand.
Infrastructure.
Education.
Who We Are
What We Do
Through books, workshops, and creative learning, ThreadPoint brings the hidden world of digital infrastructure into schools, libraries, and community spaces — making it accessible, engaging, and human.
Our debut programme explores data centres — the quiet, powerful places where the internet lives — delivered in collaboration with industry partners and educators.
Why It Matters
Children interact with technology every day, yet the systems — and people — that make it possible remain invisible.
That invisibility limits awareness, aspiration, and opportunity.
ThreadPoint shines a light on the hidden world of digital infrastructure, helping young people see the human ingenuity behind their screens — and the future careers it can lead to.
Because when they understand how the digital world is built, they can imagine themselves building it too.

Proven Impact.
Before a ThreadPoint workshop, only 18% of students could identify where the “cloud” actually lives.
Afterwards, 89% could explain how digital infrastructure works — and what it means for their safety, rights, and opportunity.
Inside the workshop.
Where the Internet Goes to Sleep is a story-led, hands-on learning experience for primary-age children — building early digital literacy, internet safety awareness, and systems thinking through play.
From Story to System
📖 The Narrative - A shared story world explores where data lives and moves.
🧱 The Hands-On - LEGO brings invisible systems to life.
💡 The Solution - Children explain what they’ve learned, in their own words.
Delivered in partnership with schools, libraries, and leading data-centre operators.
