In 2015, Future Think joined forces with The Caribbean Diaspora for Science, Technology & Innovation (UK) and The British Foundation of the University of the West Indies to equip families of Caribbean heritage to develop high-value skills and capabilities in demand in a fast and constantly changing economy.
We build and nurture a “People Helping People” problem-solving and signposting community. Since research shows clearly that parents play a crucial role in children’s academic achievement and career choices, we work extensively with and through parents.
We seek to rely on the highest quality, up-to-date data out there and draw on the expertise and experience of STEM specialist teachers, a psychotherapist, a parenting educator, Caribbean parents of high achievers, and a range of high-achieving STEM professionals. At the same time, we believe that we are all on a learning journey together. Everyone has valuable insights and expertise to share, and we encourage all parents and students in the Club to connect, share, and learn from one another.
