🌟”Chalkwild has been an exceptional partner with the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office. Our organizations share the belief in the potential of all our students and at-risk youth; that they all deserve our support and an opportunity to succeed; education is the best chance for future success; and that it is our responsibility to invest in their success. Through Chalkwild we found an innovative way to provide that support, fostering confidence, encouraging creativity and reinforcing a sense of equality, worth and belonging. Providing every student a backpack of their own and art supplies creates a foundation for academic and creative success for all students, regardless of their circumstances. This simple investment now will pay tremendous dividends, providing a brighter future for our kids and our communities.

The story behind ChalkWild

This innovative creation, inspired by the imagination of 11-year-old inventor, Hien Ho, has captured the hearts of children, parents, and educators, offering a canvas for self-expression that can be refreshed endlessly.

Empowering Learning, One Backpack at a Time

We invite your school to partner with ChalkWild to provide this cost-effective program to create transformative learning experiences, improve mental health, and empower students to thrive and succeed. The chalkWild program serves as a bridge, connecting artistic self expression to a calming mind, a strong sense of belonging, and higher self esteem.

Sparks Positive Creativity

The backpack can help me because it makes my personality more creative and I can erase it to draw again. It makes me express myself and happy about being creative.

– Makaya (Rose Ave School)

Promotes Self-Expression

My favorite part about the ChalkWild backpack was being able to use the Art Cards to draw on the backpack. When I draw on the backpack, I feel very expressive.

– Naveen (YMCA Student)

Improves Calm and Focus

I am thankful for you inventing a good backpack. I am glad you invented it because if you did not, it wouldn’t have helped me by calming me down when I get mad.

– Ryan (Rose Ave School)

Focus and Calm

Thank you for the backpack invention. You are amazing. The backpack helps me be creative and I can use it when I need to calm down. It is my favorite backpack because I can re-use it over and over again. My backpack helps me by being able to focus on my thoughts. My favorite thing about the backpack is that we can draw on it whatever we like to. It can be used to hold items. I hope you continue to help others in a positive way.

A powerful tool for autistic and Special Ed students

The act of personalizing a backpack can help foster a sense of ownership and pride, enhancing self-esteem and promoting a positive self-concept.

Chalkwild backpacks are interactive and mobile, allowing children of all ages to write and draw on them. These backpacks serve as a personal canvas and a communication tool, enabling children to express feelings, interests, and identities in a visually tangible form. For individuals with disabilities, who may experience challenges with verbal communication or emotional regulation, this form of expression can be especially empowering.

– Dr. Vivian David-Nicolas

A respected child mental health expert.

It’s as simple as

What the Experts Say

Our students in our after school program ADORE the backpacks. With the school’s logo on each backpack, the students feel an immense sense of pride wearing one of your backpacks. It helps them stay focused and feel prepared for the day ahead.

Dr. Reid Volk – Educational Option Ceres USD

The Early Education Department is extremely impressed with the QUALITY of backpacks we bought. The children enjoyed the write on/wipe off surface & having their own personal backpack to showcase their creativity builds their self-confidence!

Christie Hendricks – Merced County Office of Education

Children, parents and teachers will appreciate this easily accessible and mess-free access to creativity. Even simple drawings can provide a calming effect resulting in reduced anxiety and increased access to learned information.
