How we do it
Big Thought offers direct-to-youth programs as well as learning systems that respond to community needs. This intersection uplifts the communities Big Thought serves by creating wider access to learning opportunities, increasing the time youth spend in programming outside of school and ensuring availability of high quality programs.
Creating the Creator Archetype framework
Our driving question: What are the skills and competencies a young person needs to be able to imagine and create their best lives and world?
The Creator Archetype framework was developed through a design process that included interviews and focus groups with youth, K-12 educators, higher education leaders, industry leaders, community organization leaders, and Big Thought staff. The design process also included a thorough review of existing literature and frameworks related
to youth skill development & learning pathways. The Creator Archetype represents the essential skills and competencies that empower young people to imagine and shape their best lives and world.
