We believe that computer science is a creative and expressive art form.
It’s time to take the intimidation out of informatics and just experience the pure joy that comes with creating fun and helpful applications.
With fun for all ages, Thinkersmith believes that CS is a sport, an art, and a puzzle all in one. Our model promotes balance in three key areas:
1) Balance activity with screen time:
Children can easily be sucked into the entertainment that comes along with computation. At Thinkersmith, we like to encourage children to spend at least as much time running, skipping, and jumping as they do looking at a screen. We encourage outdoor play and attempts to solve problems with real-life tools whenever possible.
2) Balance environment with technology:
We teach students to shut down their computers when not in use. We also ask that they turn lights off when they leave a room and actively recycle. In truth, we believe that users of technology need to do whatever they can to reduce, reuse & recycle in an effort to offset the extra footprint that tech creates.
3) Balance philanthropy with self-benefit:
Computer scientists have the potential to make a lot of money. Projections indicate that this will be the case for decades to come. Thinkersmith encourages children to give back, every chance they get. We promote open-source coding, paying-forward computer science education, and volunteerism.
