Endless Access este o organizație nonprofit care activează la intersecția dintre educație și jocuri. Prin jocul său cu sursă deschisă, Threadbare, organizația le oferă cursanților și educatorilor modalități de a explora crearea de jocuri, de la proiecte introductive până la un studio cu 18 sesiuni și un parcurs de contribuție la proiecte cu sursă deschisă. Programele sale conectează creatorii cu mentori și colaborează cu școli și alte organizații pentru a extinde accesul la laptopuri și a face creația digitală mai accesibilă. Endless Access dezvoltă, de asemenea, o comunitate globală în jurul învățării prin creație.
