What We Do
🧠 The Core Problem
Most children grow up surrounded by invisible systems, data, infrastructure, energy, technology, yet never understand how these systems work, or how they relate to them.
This disconnect is especially harmful for children from underserved or underrepresented communities, who may not see themselves reflected in the design, leadership, or decision-making behind 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 tech, but don’t know how systems connect.
🧩 The Educational Gap
STEM is often taught in a way that’s too abstract, technical, or exclusive.
Neurodivergent learners and visual thinkers are often excluded.
Infrastructure, planning, and digital systems are rarely covered in early education at all.
There’s little early exposure to the infrastructure of power, the systems shaping their futures.
💥 The Impact of This Gap
Children grow up without system-level thinking, limiting their capacity to engage in careers or conversations around tech, planning, data, and power.
Underrepresented communities remain excluded from industries that shape the world.
The pipeline into built environment, digital infrastructure, or civic tech careers remains narrow, non-inclusive, and invisible.
💡 Our Solution
ThreadPoint reimagines these invisible systems through storytelling, metaphor, and narrative design — making them accessible to all children, including neurodivergent learners.
Our approach:
Uses books, workshops, and story-led infrastructure education
Builds narrative infrastructure as a teaching tool
Bridges fiction and systems thinking to seed early pathways into digital, civic, and STEM futures
