About company
They produce artistic, fun, and scientifically accurate tools to engage children in science both at school and at home. We already have a series of books and are now expanding into video games. They have received an NSF SBIR Phase I grant to start creating an ecologically-themed video game for children in grades 1-5. It will be released in three tablet apps starting in Q1 2014 for home use and packaged together with lesson plans, worksheets, and assessment tools tied in with the new Common Core Standards for school use. They are working with top ecologists at UC-Davis to model the video game based on real-life data and science. This product fills a unique niche since there is currently no ecology focused video game aimed at teaching scientific process skills for this age group.
