He was a normal American computer programmer but using his creative skills, experience in technology and team work, to design an unconventional online networking site the user base of which has grown to more than 250 million people.

Learning is at the very core of what it means to be human. Even before we are born, our senses are already at work as we process information from the outside world. A stimulus to our inner self starts through thought, emotions, and self-regulation, and our outward self through perception, speech, and behaviors.
The 21st century will comprises education that constitutes significant contributions to the understanding and improvement of educational processes combining holistic growth and human development at all educational levels. This needs to be done in both formal and informal settings with a wide range of academic disciplines and using a wide range of research methods.
The team at 'The Creative Compass' aims exactly at these agendas that instill confidence, teach life skills while helping children to focus more and relax ahead of any exams. Moreover workshops will be organised in various schools as encouragement sessions to enhance dialogue amongst students with their teachers and parents. These projects have been designed to engage children in authentic tasks relevant to their daily lives. The Creative Compass(TCC) team's focus is to bring out the individuality and talents of the children and helping them discover their strengths and weaknessses and working on them alike.
Moreover TCC does not believe in the 'One size fits all' theory. So students will be provided with custom made modules to suit the childs need. something that are current education system lacks.
The workshops and modules at the TCC inculcate games and varied activities through which special skills, behaviour and attitude of the child will be highlighted. It will instil not just confidence to overcome aversions to various subjects taught but also infuse a sense of responsibility, defining ones goals based on interests and team building and leadership spirit. Children will be encouraged to forge ties with nature and our activities have been designed to help students realize the role of sustainable development. With that Yoga sessions and nutritional guidance is an important part of our modules as body awareness increases through regular yoga and balanced eating to keep a child focussed, alert and calm--all being indispensable pre requisites to any exam. Extensive study on child behaviour on how to relate the latest research in child development, cognitive psychology, and sociology to school learning and their implications for teaching practice has gone in designing the workshops and modules at TCC.
Today success requires fluidity in skills, concepts, problem solving, decision making, and judgment that are daily applied in the realms of the sciences (including mathematics), engineering, technology and design. Its like a web of skills and ideas where as an example an engineer in a hotel needs to have food sense and a designer in the gaming world needs to know technology to stay updated.
Both absolute and explicit familiarity with and understanding of the human-designed world (i.e., the world of technology) is fundamental knowledge essential for life and active participation in the world as an entrepreneur, leader, economic, spiritual, and social contributor to society.
We at TCC aim to holistically guide, mentor and propel a child to empower them and create leaders for tomorrow. The focus is on challenging the students to explore new ideas and hone their capabilities and skills. We believe in teaching our students “how” to think rather than “what” to think so that they can make informed choices to create a stimulating and engaging atmosphere which will enhance a child’s latent potential.
