About Us
Our team of educators, researchers, and scientists from the US and around the globe create unique STEAM-standardized programs that place education, games, and visual stories at the crossroads. Our innovative lesson plans and teaching approaches are based on real-life stories and explore interdisciplinary knowledges, Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, Science & Engineering Practices, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards, and National Core Arts Standards (NSAS). With a proven track record of success, let us help you reimagine STEAM education and make learning engaging and meaningful.
