We believe that AI will expand what children are capable of.

Mission

We create stories, tools, and experiences that empower young people with self-awareness, curiosity, and the belief that they have agency to shape their world, while inspiring the adults around them to build environments where that growth can flourish.

Principles

01

Agency First

Young people are creators, explorers, and decision-makers. Everything we make reinforces their belief in their own capability.

02

Healthy Relationships with AI

Technology is a companion, not a crutch. AI teaches skills but does not do the work. It stays close and practices with you.

03

Dual-Purpose Depth

Like Pixar, our content carries layers. Children experience wonder and emotional growth. Adults recognize the deeper themes.

04

Expanding Circles

Rooted in metta meditation: awareness begins with self, then expands to loved ones, to community, to all beings.

05

Optimism as Architecture

This is about the extraordinary opportunity for young people to access, explore, create, and grow earlier and more deeply than any generation before.

06

Environment Matters

We inspire and equip parents, educators, and leaders to create landscapes where this new relationship with technology can develop.

07

Transcend the Demographic

Our work starts with young children but is designed to grow with them and speak across age boundaries.

Inspiration

Bethany

There is a need to enable young people with the belief in themselves that they have agency to facilitate self-awareness and to create a combination of curiosity and motivation to pursue ideas and leverage technology for their own growth and passions and pursuits in the world.

Both of us who are the creators have a deep background with meditation and specifically metta meditation, which involves expanding the circumference of your awareness of others and your ability to feel compassion for all beings.

This wish for all beings to live a life without suffering.
