Think Unlimited

Think Unlimited is a nonprofit organization working to change the way education is perceived and achieved in the Arab world. Our transformational education programs equip and empower Arab youth to “think up the future” by engaging critically and creatively with their world.

We work in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Our programming takes place in public schools and youth centers throughout the Kingdom, mostly in villages outside of the capital. We train Jordanian public school teachers and American volunteers to implement critical and creative thinking programs as summer camps and afterschool activities. We are continually evaluating and developing our unique curricula to meet the needs of youth, teachers, and parents in the Arab world.

The aim of each of our programs is to develop measurable cognitive growth and concrete skills in students—key elements that lead to civic engagement, leadership, and entrepreneurship. To that end, our curricula incorporate the latest scientific research in cognitive development and achievement motivation, and to our knowledge we are the only organization in the region approaching education and youth work in this unique, scientific way. We have also engaged as a board member a top researcher in the field of creativity, who is designing psychological measures of our programs’ impact. By building this sort of research and evaluation into our programs early on, we hope to continually adapt and change our curricula for the greatest impact, learning as we go.
