Bit Space is driving a revolution in the classroom, and it starts with "yes." Yes, to getting students to use new tools and allowing them to decide what to create with them. Yes, to guiding adventurous teachers down a path of facilitating wonder, creativity, and complex thinking. And Yes to charting new territory in the world of maker education with progressive educators across the globe.From online and in-person Professional Development courses to comprehensive in-school and after school programs and maker space design and build services, we have a solution for every educator who wants support for integrating Design Thinking and Maker Education into their classroom.OUR MISSION: Unlocking creativityWe exist to empower children to become critical thinkers and problem solvers who are inspired to lead the way in our rapidly changing world. We achieve our mission with educators who become ambassadors of change in the classroom while guiding our youth to become producers, not just consumers, of their environment-- unlocking creativity, together. OUR VISION: Disrupting the status quoEducation has hit an inflection point. Our children need to become the problem solvers, risk takers, and entrepreneurs of the future, but conventional education, rote learning, and high stakes testing are not preparing students to meet those needs. As AI and automation become more commonplace, companies need thinkers who can work with diverse teams and unexpected challenges -- problem-solving by taking calculated risks rather than waiting for directions. For that to happen, change has to take place in the classroom. Today.Our goal at Bit Space is to help educators across the globe engage all students in a way that sparks wonder and joy while proving that failure is just a step on the road to success.
