Start with access
We hope to work with libraries so children and families can use library memberships, books, digital resources, and local learning opportunities. Membership eligibility and resource access will depend on each library.
SmartSlaps Academy • Our next chapter
Help develop the SmartSlaps Academy.
We plan to develop free learning guides that connect children’s interests with library resources, practical skills, and career preparation.
The Academy is in development.
The full Academy is a vision in development.
It has not launched. We are seeking funding, educators, librarians, and community partners to help develop it. No Academy enrollment or complete curriculum is available yet. You can explore the sample lesson and games below today.
The model we want to build
Our plan for library resources and guided self-study.
Learn with direction
Planned self-study guides and curricula would connect each learner’s interests with clear next steps, practice, review, and useful skills.
Grow toward a goal
We want to support career exploration, preparation for applicable tests and training, and the confidence to keep developing a child’s talents.

SmartSlaps Foundation has no paid employees or paid board members. Funding and community participation will help us develop resources, review learning materials, and build the partnerships this vision needs.
Educators, librarians, curriculum contributors, community organizations, and funders can help shape the next steps.
Full Academy launch timing will depend on funding, resource development, and confirmed partnerships.
