THE CHANGERSADVENTURES®
An educational & technology-driven creative thinking company equipping this generation of learners for a future of AI. The Changers Adventures® and Btwx.me®
Built by educators & operators: Betsy Weaver, Ed.D. (Harvard Graduate School of Education) & Alan J. Trinkle, CEO (Fortune 500 marketing veteran).
Creative thinking is one of the world’s most in-demand job skills; the World Economic Forum has identified “creative thinking” as a top world priority since 2023. AI, while powerful, lacks this one thing that can be every child’s superpower. AI cannot imagine what’s next, or go beyond what is to create what could be; only humans can.
TheChangersAdventures® is a storytelling, reading-aloud quest adventure -learning experience. Introducing ‘mind doodling’, MagicWords, new characters, stories and the skills needed for children to be “changers of their own futures” and creative thinking who can go beyond what is to imagine and create what could be!
Btwx.me®: enabling technology to foster creative thinking. Beyond QR codes, proprietary Btwx.me technology takes what’s on the page and seamlessly links to additional digital content, sparking questions, conversations, and problem-solving activities.
