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.
