Understand more than the tool.
We start with what pupils see on the screen, explore what happens behind it,
then bring it back to their own judgement.
It’s STEAM learning with a difference. Pupils explore the science, technology, engineering, arts and maths behind the digital world they use every day.
AI & DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Above the screen
Understand AI, what it can and can’t do, and how to use it thoughtfully.

EARLY IMPACT
Understanding changes when children can see the connections.
Before a ThreadPoint session, fewer than 1 in 5 children could say where the cloud lives. Afterwards, 90% could.
“Feedback from both students and staff was overwhelmingly positive. Our Year 6 teachers will be completing the ThreadPoint Learning Lab follow-up activities with the children and we hope to welcome ThreadPoint back in the future.”
— Margaret, Headteacher, Holmleigh Primary School
