Our mission is to democratize creation for all.
Building things to solve your own problems should be a possibility for everyone, no matter their age, economical status, education or opportunity, without relying on governments or corporations.
Some developers and makers today instinctly develops applications, tools or hardware to solve their own problems when those arise. Thus, they learn effectively at maximum speed.
We want this culture of hacking to be the norm of society.
We're working to cultivate the Hacker Culture for students, developers and active citizens by building an Adventure Playground for creators to hack, play and learn.
We believe in the combined power of Active Citizenship, and Lifelong Kindergarten via the 4Ps of Creative Learning: Passions, Projects, Peers and Play.
When creators build things, it strengthens their magic: their ability to learn and create across boundaries of disciplines, to Learn in Public, to be creative, and help them to master and hone their practical skills e.g. software engineering or biology.
We rely on four strategies to work towards our goal.
-
Help creators to broaden their horizons and perspectives by exposing them to new technologies, disciplines, and problem domains.
-
Create automations and open-source technologies to solve problems for each communities. We aim to develop open technology in collaboration with multiple communities, and having widespread adoption by multiple groups.
-
Connect creators and organizations via hackathons, open-source projects, game shows, initiatives, and meetups.
-
Raise awareness in other communities through media and science communication.
When a creator takes the lead and collaborate with other communities, they solve even greater problems.
By connecting interdisciplinary communities to collaborate on projects, they're able to share resources, learn from other experts, and achieve their shared goals.
This inspires us to Connect and grow creators and communities across disciplines by creating a Community Mesh, an interconnected network of communities with shared values of Lifelong Learning.
The incentive is for creators to meet their personal goals, organizations to meet their goals, and for the wider community to meet their shared goals.
We aim to Build a foundation for students and active citizens to solve their own problems, to be an Adventure Playground for creators to take initiative in shaping our future.
Our Vision
We wish to see a future where anyone can create to solve their own problems; where students and active citizens have the resources and the knowledge they need, are able to collaborate creatively, and create even further.
We aim to cultivate the garden of creators; a community of lifelong learners constantly discovering new horizons and perspectives, building open-source technologies, collaborating with each other, and raising awareness through media and science communication.
We envision Creatorsgarten to be a leading hub for Active Citizenship and Lifelong Learning, a place where creators can come to learn new skills, connect with others, and collaborate on projects. Where Lifelong Learning is not just a possibility, but a reality for all.
We aim to bridge communities across disciplines to connect and collaborate with one another. Therefore, communities can come together to achieve their shared goals.
We want to work towards building a strong, autonomous, collaborative, and decentralized foundation for active citizens in Thailand.
