Our Mission

We are on a mission to improve screen time and help kids develop healthy digital habits.

A neuroscientific approach to Education

We embed scientifically-proven methods to create meaningful learning experiences

Reward, without punishment

Studies have shown that children and adolescents learned from rewards, but were less likely to learn from punishment. For this reason, we don’t punish kids for failure - instead providing different degrees of reward to encourage greater effort and foster determination.

Recall and retrieval practices

Learning is a matter of recall. Research shows that deliberately recalling information enhances learning and memory formation. We use proven retrieval practices in our courses to help kids learn and remember more.

Failure, success and experience

Experience-based learning has been shown to be more effective than learning from instruction, and this is especially true for children - that’s why we create learning experiences that are geared to allow kids to fail and to help them succeed next time.

Self-reflection and alternating brain states

Neuroscience shows that learning and development necessitates an effective balance between external attention and internal reflection - by alternating between focused and diffuse brain states, we allow kids to develop healthy learning habits.

Our advisors

We’re supported by a leading team of researchers and thought leaders across gaming and education.
