The career landscape is changing at a rapid pace. Repetitive tasks are being automated and outsourcing has become prevalent in many industries, placing a new emphasis on creative problem-solving skills. Preparing children for this dynamic environment is crucial, and one of the most effective approaches is through adopting a STEAM approach to their education.
The Paper Girls show does just that! This multi-award-winning show from Global Tinker is written by a team of renowned children’s education programming experts from Harvard professors to MacArthur Genius grantees, and produced by a world-class animation team with a rich history working with companies such as Sesame Street & Disney, it’s as entertaining as it is educational.

Through the Paper Girls Show, Global Tinker’s mission is to prepare kids 6 and up for the 21st century by harnessing the powers of narrative storytelling through digital technology AND paper crafts using an Educational Enrichment Guide. Consisting of the Three M’s and created by the Research Schools International (RIS) team of researchers and educators, the guide focuses on these interrelated themes that are woven throughout the show:
- Making
- Mistakes
- Mindfulness
Their latest project, Paper Girls Origami Craft Book is the only origami book that’s based on an authentic animated series featuring origami and paper craft.
Why Origami?
You may be thinking why origami of all things? Well, origami is more than just the art of folding paper! When participating in the craft of paper folding it encourages:
- Creativity
- Critical thinking
- Collaboration,
- And problem-solving skills in children
It’s more than folding paper and watching a video. The shared experience of the PGOCB and the Paper Girls show creates a unique synergy that children need to grow and learn between purpose and play. By promoting children’s sense of “self” through STEAM-based activities, enhanced by a uniquely engaging and fun experience with music, video tutorials, and animated episodes from the show you’ll equip your child with all of the necessary skills to future-proof their development.
