A big shout out to Harlem Capital and Forbes for selecting our founder, Oscar Pedroso, to present among four amazing finalists for their inaugural 'More Equity' Pitch Competition. We didn't win the grand prize but boy do we feel special for being selected from a batch of 220 applications. The competition was created to invest in up-and-coming Black, Brown, and female founders. A big high five to the winners Tequity and Paerpay for taking home the cash prize. Another high five to finalists Lelu and Diam. It was an honor to pitch with you all! #diversityintech #education https://bit.ly/3js4yft

Some of us here at Thimble still remember the day our technology teachers put a breadboard in front of us in middle school. Not only were we confused about the word "breadboard", but we were also curious how it would introduce us to electronics. (Some of us were even expecting to eat fancy bread!) Oh boy we were silly back then! It wasn't long before we understood what a breadboard was and what it could do. For those of you curious about starting electronics, coding, robotics, or other STEM fields, knowing about breadboards may be helpful as you begin your tinkering journey. Also, some of our live classes on Mondays and Wednesday evenings will soon show us how to use a breadboard to our advantage to hack, build, code, solder, and more! #STEM #education #maker https://bit.ly/35stmyI

Time flies when you're listening to entertaining podcasts. Here is one perfect for the family on random topics people search for on Google. Our favorite ones are the episodes related to science, technology, and engineering. (Hmm, I wonder why...) The host, Michael Kent, does a great job explaining material and usually has a personal story tied to insights. It's great for family time in the car and listening to when you have some down time. Highly recommend! https://open.spotify.com/episode/5a8Y2KJ6wuTwRDkZHpqOGo #elearning #education

The status quo for remote learning is Zoom. Yes - we know! We're Zoomed out, too! However, here at Thimble, we believe the future of education will be based on giving students (and parents) the best possible experience in after school and out-of-school environments - especially while schools recover from closures, staff reductions, and budget cuts. It is only the beginning. What's happening now is certainly going to change the face of education for years to come. And. we. can't. wait. for. it! #education #CodingForKids #STEM https://bit.ly/34c0sUo

These days, subscription boxes are a great way to look forward to something. And with the holiday season around the corner, we wanted to highlight what sets us apart from other educational subscription boxes. In short, we offer STEM kits with live, and on-demand classes. But that's just the beginning. If you're interested in diving a bit deeper into what makes Thimble a unique gift for a loved one, check out some of the perks here. #edchat #STEM #madewiththimble https://bit.ly/3iLJ6S7

Occasionally, parents ask us why their child isn't learning robotics, coding, or video game design in school. This one is usually tough for us to answer because there are so many reasons why most schools don't teach these subjects. We sat down with a few parents and teachers to get their take on the matter and share some of our findings. If you're a parent interested in teaching your kids a bit more about technology, engineering, and computer science, we'd love to hear about some of your experiences and challenges. #edchat #robotics #STEM https://bit.ly/2IcqU7v
