Thinking Ahead

Update #10 · Jun 27, 2012 · comment

As the last few hours of our KickStarter campaign count down we want to say THANK YOU to all our backers and followers for your support and encouragement. This campaign has been rewarding and fun to put together, and it has resulted in exposure, new contacts and offers of help that we are really excited about for the future.
With your pledges you have shown us that you want to help us change education and change the world. We will keep you all posted as we explore new options for THINKING AT EVERY DESK. It's a film that just has to get made!
Many thanks again,
Derek, Laura and Deborah
