Who We Are
What We Do
Two programmes. One mission.
For schools — curriculum-aligned workshops for children aged 5–11, delivered in classrooms. Story-led, hands-on, and designed for all learners including neurodivergent children.
For communities — intergenerational sessions for families and community groups at libraries, community centres, and public venues. Open to all ages. No prior knowledge needed.
Both programmes explore the same question: where does the internet live, and who builds it?
Delivered in partnership with schools, libraries, local authorities, and data centre operators & owners.
Why It Matters
Most people use the internet. Very few understand it.
The systems that power our daily lives — data centres, digital networks, energy grids — are almost entirely invisible to the communities that around them.
That invisibility limits awareness, aspiration and connection.
ThreadPoint changes that — helping children, families and communities understand the world they depend on, and imagine themselves building it.

Where the Internet Goes to Sleep
A published children's book about data centres, the cloud, and digital infrastructure.
Our Story.
Written by Willow Williams, Where the Internet Goes to Sleep introduces children aged 5–11 to the hidden world of the internet — through the eyes of Laila and her cloud companion Fluffbit.
Curriculum-aligned to KS1 and KS2 Computing. Printed in OpenDyslexic font for neuroinclusive accessibility. Used as the narrative anchor in every ThreadPoint workshop.
Where Does the Internet Live?
Most people can tell you how to use the internet. Very few have been shown where it lives.
Watch what happens when they find out.
Proven Impact.
Real, measurable outcomes
Before a ThreadPoint workshop, only 18% of participants 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.
What participants experience
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 - Participants explain what they’ve learned, in their own words.
