Erik Thorstensson

Erik believes creativity needs to be fostered and not smothered in the early years of a child education. Getting hands on experimentation with everything, from code to construction, helps getting there and demystifying everything, from computers to manufacturing. Erik helps both teachers and students engaging in fantastic learning experiences. And best of all, almost all lesson materials in the program can be made from local waste in and around the schools, so the kids can keep learning after school hours.
