Our Aims

1

Create Creators

We create boxes and events to encourage families to spend time off screens, creating and exploring together. We aim to give families a chance to use this space to be resourceful and imaginative, enhancing the creative instinct we all have, to make something out of nothing.

2

Start Sustainable Thinking

By creating creative people, we are also establishing in them a mission for sustainability. We teach them the long-term importance and ease of reusing what others would see and discard. We also highlight different ways to approach consumption and production.

3

Connect Communities

We want to join people together, creating a community of creative people. Through regular, themed face-to-face events we unite communities, introducing opportunities for fun education, parent-child/teen interaction, and community connections.
