Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, and we continue working in partnerships with incredible people at the forefront of innovation and creativity to develop our resources like LEGO, Skyscanner and many more. We are inspiring our young people to build new things and to create meaning and sense in the networked world of today, just as we might have needed when we were 13.
Our partners create free online resources for teachers which we believe will shape and inform the whole curriculum in our schools by putting context to essential skills and sharing challenges in a simple, efficient and creative manner.
In January 2021 we launched a new qualification in Creative Thinking (15 - 18 years). Based on a simple creative process, our qualification has 5 broad learning outcomes which are clearly mapped to our resources and assessment App. Our Playlist of resources that support the Creative Thinking qualification has been created in collaboration with LEGO, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Studio LR, Acrylicize and Edinburgh Napier University. Learners are encouraged to think differently, break the rules, fail, collaborate and generate creative, innovative solutions. and ideas. Through the use of challenge-based learning, we are supporting creative thinking across the curriculum and helping to remind ourselves of what makes us uniquely human, creative and brave!
Since the start of our online programme in 2019 over 12,000 lessons have been downloaded. We have had over 42,000 unique visitors from over 135 countries.
In December 2021 we were awarded a BIMA 10, recognising us as one of the UK's top 10 digital change-making projects.
In Nov 2021 we worked with LEGO, Pecha Kucha and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on our #getonwithit challenge at COP26. Over 1200 young people, policymakers and partners attended our workshops in Glasgow
2021 - 2022 Schools across Scotland piloted our new Creative Thinking qualifications. In August 2022, 24 Primary and High schools across Scotland are working with us on new challenges.
In January 2023 we launched a new global challenge in partnership with adidas, D&AD and global leading creative agencies.
Our experience has proven impact and scalability. All our resources are free to download on our website and can be filtered by age, duration and category. We want to support creative thinking across the world and are keen to speak to partners who are interested in embedding our resources and/ or the Creative Thinking qualification.
