Behind the Cloud: For Libraries & Community.
Free community workshops for all ages. No experience needed. No cost. Just curiosity.
ThreadPoint community sessions are open to everyone — children, young people, grandparents, neighbours, and anyone curious about how the digital world actually works.
Through storytelling, LEGO® building, and guided conversation, we make invisible infrastructure visible — in the libraries, community centres, and shared spaces where people already gather.
No screens. No pressure. No prior knowledge. Just hands-on learning that sparks real conversations.
Intergenerational Learning
When different generations explore the same idea together, something interesting happens.
A grandparent and grandchild building a data centre from LEGO. A teenager explaining to a neighbour what "the cloud" actually is. A parent realising they had the same questions as their eight-year-old.
These are the moments ThreadPoint is built for.
Every session includes:
A shared story that opens up big ideas simply
Hands-on LEGO building — no experience needed
Guided conversation that works across ages
A storybook and activity sheet to take home
Sessions are:
Always free — fully funded, no booking fees
Held in community spaces — libraries, community centres, family hubs

Inclusive by Design
ThreadPoint workshops are intentionally created to support all learners, including children with additional needs.
• Neurodiversity-Friendly – Clear structure, visual supports, flexible participation, and calm facilitation.
• SEND-Aware Delivery – Experienced facilitators support autistic children, ADHD, dyslexia, and sensory differences.
• Low-Pressure Environment – Children engage at their own pace, with optional quiet spaces and multiple ways to participate.
Who Can Attend?
These sessions aren't just for families with young children. They're genuinely for anyone.
Come if you're a grandparent who wants to understand what your grandchild talks about. Come if you're a local resident who's curious. Come if you're a young person who wants to go deeper. Come if you just want an interesting Saturday morning.
If you're curious, you're welcome.
Testimonials
“It’s like the outside….. inside!”

“The ThreadPoint workshop was wonderfully inclusive for children of different ages - engaging, imaginative, and genuinely educational. Parents shared overwhelmingly positive feedback... We wish to welcome ThreadPoint back for another workshop.”

I learnt so much, it was really nice that I learnt something new with my grandson.
