Building technology that educates and inspires my kids.

I'm building this for me. My kids are 5 and 3. I am excited by the potential of technology to spark their curiosity, help them develop into independent learners, and fuel their creativity. But the obvious choices today do not inspire me.

I don't want my kids to be Youtube-watching zombies. I don't want them overly stimulated by endless recommendations, or extremely gamified apps. Apps seem designed to babysit kids from tired parents, but I want to be there with them as they explore the world. What possibilities does that unlock?

I believe something better is possible. This is my journey to build it. I'd love to connect and develop ideas with like-minded parents.
