Thinking ‘Things’ in Education
This is where it all started with a desire to share the amazing potential in found objects with children and educators around the world. To create a place where like-minded educators, designers, facilitators and creatives everywhere in the world can meet and dialogue. If you are using found objects in your work or would love to begin, you can find inspiration and a voice here.
Educational Services
If you are using found objects in your work or would love to begin, you can find inspiration and a voice here. Explore and don't forget to contribute to the conversation, as this will make it more possible for learning to happen everywhere.
Traveling Playworkshops
Traveling Workshops can run from 1hr to 1 week and can be organised for any age, culture, interest, profession. The primary part of the workshop is about Play and opening up to your own creative spirit. The materials stay pretty much the same, everyday objects, but the desired outcome and questions are created after a conversation with you.
Bring the Power of Things into your Learning Environment
Speaking Engagments
Our founder Julie Anne Gilleland has traveled around the world telling her story and inspiring people to see their own creative spirits and potential.
She developed Think with Things, through years of working with children and adults. In 2007, she started Turtlewings Atelier in Brussels, Belgium, a non-profit for educators, children and families to explore design thinking. In this environment the true idea of Think with Things was born. However, it wasn’t until 2014 that she set up Think with Things, after winning the Open Education Challenge and her idea being proposed as one of the best Edtech companies in Europe.
Her talks about getting back some of the qualities we all had as a child: playfulness, imagination, questioning, an ‘anything is possible’ attitude are inspiring and definitely can get all involved thinking!
Check out her talk at Creative Mornings Brussels, 2018
We love sharing our story!
