WHAT WE DO:Make the
invisible, visible.
Most children grow up surrounded by invisible systems (data, energy, infrastructure) but never learn how they work. This disconnect is especially harmful for children from underserved communities who may not see themselves reflected in the design or leadership of these systems.
🔌 They use the internet but don’t know what a data centre is.
🚦 They cross streets but don’t know how cities are planned.
💡 They flip switches but don’t know how energy flows.
📱 They rely on technology, but don’t know how systems connect.
Our Approach
🚫 The STEM & Digital Literacy Gap
1
Traditional STEM education is often too abstract, technical, or exclusive. Infrastructure, planning, and digital systems are rarely introduced at an age where curiosity, imagination, and confidence are still forming.
Neurodivergent learners and visual thinkers are particularly excluded by conventional approaches — despite being natural systems thinkers.
The result: children engage with powerful technologies daily, but without understanding how those systems work, who designs them, or how their choices travel through them.
🌱 Why This Matters for Digital Responsibility
2
When systems remain invisible, children lack agency.
When agency is missing, responsibility — including safe and ethical digital behaviour — becomes harder to develop.
By helping children understand where their data goes, how the internet is physically built, and how systems interconnect, ThreadPoint supports the foundations of digital awareness, responsibility, and safety — without fear-based or compliance-led teaching.
💡 Our Solution: Narrative Infrastructure
3
ThreadPoint reimagines invisible systems through storytelling, metaphor, and narrative design — making infrastructure education accessible to all children, including neurodivergent learners.
Our approach:
📚 Founder-authored, curriculum-aligned books and learning materials
🏗️ Story-led workshops that make infrastructure tangible and human
🧠 Narrative infrastructure as a tool for systems thinking
🚀 Early exposure to careers in infrastructure, data, and civic technology
Rather than telling children what to think or how to behave online, we help them understand the systems they are part of — so safer, more responsible engagement can grow naturally.
