Every great invention begins not with metal or gears, but with a spark—a glimmer of wonder born from imagination. At The Curiositorium of Cogglepotts, my mission is to help children discover that spark, nurture it, and set the Gears of Imagination into motion through storytelling, creativity, and STEAM-based exploration.

I believe imagination is one of humanity’s greatest strengths—and one that can be taught, encouraged, and practiced. Through age-appropriate storytelling, guided inquiry, and creative exploration, children learn that imagination grows through curiosity, critical thinking, and care for others. Students are encouraged to recognize that everyone views the world differently, and that these unique perspectives are essential to collaboration, innovation, and understanding.

Rooted in both science and the arts, my programs are designed to support literacy enrichment, STEAM learning goals, and social-emotional growth. I emphasize kindness, empathy, and respect while showing how ideas—especially unconventional ones—can lead to meaningful discovery and invention.

As an educational storyteller, I am committed to creating inclusive, welcoming experiences where curiosity is celebrated, creativity is valued, and every learner feels empowered to explore ideas with confidence.

My blueprint is simple:
to awaken creativity, honor individuality, and remind each child that imagination is not just something they use—it is something they develop.

Imagine. Invent. Inspire.
Because the greatest invention of all… is you.

Professor Thaddeus Cogglepotts
