🧭 Our guiding principles
🎮 Learning through play
We believe that most learning happens when we are enjoying ourselves, and that creativity and play are endless sources of discovery and growth.
🤖 Positive use of AI
The rise of AI is going to have a profound effect on education, and we want to be known for using this powerful new tool in all the most positive ways.
🔄 Multi-Modal Learning Pathways
Learning is most effective when kids are exposed to concepts in different ways, and we imagine a tool where there are numerous modes and nodes for educational pathways.
📚 Storytelling
At the heart of our product is a story that serves up magical adventure with a side of science, culture & ethics.
🎨 Creativity
We think amazing things happen when you give kids the tools and space to be creative, and we very much plan to do this here.
🧩 Customization
Every child learns a little differently, and likes different things; we think their online playspace should reflect that diversity.
🔒 Privacy
We are not here to be selling info about your kids - or you - to advertisers.
🌎 Worldly
As much as possible, we hope to reflect the diversity of cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles of kids and communities across the world.
🤝 Inclusive
We invite participation and contribution from people across all races, genders & religions.
