In a world where technology touches every aspect of our lives, it is crucial that our children become active creators of technology, not just passive users. What separates those who simply have an idea from those who make their ideas a reality is the ability to program. Our mission is to provide every child with solid foundations in STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programming and critical thinking skills to prepare them to become better architects of their future world. Tynker's creative computing platform helps children develop computational thinking and programming skills in a fun, intuitive and imaginative way. The innovative visual programming language, interactive self-paced courses, and game-based programming activities provide an easy introduction to programming, and empower children to innovate and create. Tynker is available on the Web, on iPad and Android-based tablets so that kids can make fun and useful applications for the same mediums they consume from.

Established in 2006, Beyond BookSmart, formerly Thinking Outside the Classroom, provides Executive Function coaching to students in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Executive Functions are self-management skills that help people achieve goals. In order to be effective, students must be able to manage their emotions and attention, organize and plan their work and time, and reflect upon and revise their tactics as circumstances change. Our mission is to empower students to manage themselves effectively by providing tools, strategies and mentoring that lead to a lifetime of success, allowing them to clarify and achieve what is important to them, be more fulfilled, and contribute to a better world. Working 1:1 with students in their homes and online via Skype, our academic coaches use a deep understanding of the stages of behavior change (the Transtheoretical Model, by Dr. James Prochaska, verified by over 35 years of research) as we help them to achieve lasting results that facilitate productivity and confidence. Our headquarters is in Needham, MA and we have over 100 highly qualified and well trained Executive Function coaches located throughout Massachusetts, the New York Metro Region, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the greater Chicagoland area.
