Founded in Florida’s Capital City by community strategist and published author Ashley Scott, Creative Mind Solutions, Inc. transforms Leon County K–8 students into hardbound published book authors, delivers free hands-on STEM robotics workshops, and breaks generational cycles through creative mastery.
K–8 Hardbound Book Authorship
In April 2020, when school closures and socioeconomic divides threatened to widen the literacy and technology gap for underserved students in Leon County, community strategist and published author Ashley Scott incorporated Creative Mind Solutions, Inc. (Florida Sunbiz Document #N20000004227), earning official IRS 501(c)(3) public charity designation in May 2020.
Operating from our statutory headquarters at 3122 Mahan Drive, Suite 801-300, Tallahassee, FL 32308, we rejected passive remedial worksheets in favor of an electrifying studio philosophy: children learn deepest when they are empowered as creators, authors, and engineers.
Supported by the Children’s Services Council of Leon County (CSC Leon), our summer campers don’t just read books—they draft manuscripts, illustrate storyboards, and hold their own ISBN-style bound books at community book signings.
In collaboration with United Partners for Human Services (UPHS) and Volunteer Leon, we bring mobile robotics, coding circuits, and parent coaching directly to Title I neighborhoods.
Filed in Tallahassee, FL (Doc #N20000004227; EIN 85-0817040) under NTEE P40/P20 Youth & Family Services.
Deployed mobile robotics kits, digital literacy labs, and UPHS human-services family mentorship cohorts.
Expanded tuition-free summer publishing camps, turning over 150 Leon County elementary and middle schoolers into published authors.
"Creative Mind Solutions, Inc. is a Tallahassee, Florida 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization dedicated to unlocking the limitless potential of youth and families. Through immersive literacy initiatives, student book publishing camps, hands-on STEM exploration, and family empowerment programming, we inspire lifelong continuum learning across Leon County. We remove socioeconomic barriers so every child can discover their creative genius, author their own story, and build an inspired future."
Every workshop at Creative Mind Solutions is engineered around five foundational geometric pillars combining joyful literacy with rigorous STEM inquiry.
Inspiring Lifelong Learning
Curiosity has no corners. We nurture continuous discovery so children view every question as an invitation to explore, read, and invent.
Rigorous STEM & Critical Thinking
Through robotics, sensor logic, and algorithmic problem-solving, students build structural discipline and engineering confidence.
Every Child is a Storyteller
When a child holds their own published hardcover book, literacy transforms from a school test into lifelong personal ownership and pride.
Radical Family Inclusivity
We uplift the entire household—equipping parents, caregivers, and mentors with reading toolkits and resilience resources.
Free High-Quality Education for All
Zip codes must never dictate creative destiny. Our grant-funded camps ensure zero-cost access for underserved Leon County families.
Funded in proud partnership with the Children’s Services Council of Leon County (CSC Leon), this signature camp guides elementary and middle schoolers step-by-step through character ideation, narrative drafting, full-color illustration, typography layout, and receiving their own professionally printed hardbound book.
Our mobile engineering studio brings tactile STEM kits directly to Tallahassee community centers, churches, and after-school sites. Students wire sensor circuits, program autonomous micro-robots, explore 3D printing prototypes, and run interactive chemistry and physics trials.
Partnering with local Leon County schools, libraries, and United Partners for Human Services (UPHS), we distribute free culturally affirming books alongside structured 30-day family reading schedules and parent coaching guides that turn living rooms into joyful reading sanctuaries.
In partnership with Volunteer Leon, we recruit and train passionate university interns and community professionals across Tallahassee to serve as editorial coaches, graphic design guides, and STEM lab facilitators for our younger K–8 scholars.

Campers enter the Creative Mind Studio and receive their official Author Sketchbook. Guided by Ashley Scott’s curriculum and Volunteer Leon literacy mentors, students map their protagonist, central conflict, and Tallahassee or imaginative setting using geometric storyboards.
In our Tallahassee summer camps and weekend labs, students pair vivid sensory writing with hands-on engineering models—proving that storytelling and scientific inquiry share the same creative spark.
