Life takes unexpected turns. The ThinkerBots Writing Academy sprouted from a single idea - writing is hard. Four boys competing in a robotics competition transformed that single thought into a full-fledged, free service, helping kids improve their writing from the comfort of their own home. The idea ended up making waves in the competition, winning the first prize for community project. The judges loved the idea of “kids helping kids,” and liked how easy the service was to use through its website. Although robotics isn’t a huge part of the boys’ life now, 4 years later, ThinkerBots still is. We, at ThinkerBots Writing Academy, aspire to spread this service of free writing help and “Kids Helping Kids” across the globe.
