Startups
We empower people to thrive as active citizens in a connected world.
Our work unlocks the transformative power of people as seekers and solvers of complex problems, risk takers, inventors and visionaries. We work wherever people are: in communities, businesses, schools, cultural and civic institutions. At the core of the experiences we design are games, play and the principles that underlie them. Using these principles, we have created successful institutions, games, programs, events, digital platforms and products.
We realize new possibilities now.
We are not preparing for a distant future. We are about meeting people where they are and igniting their potential now. We work with a diverse set of partners to make it happen, such as Electronic Arts, Intel, the Mozilla Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, E-Line Media and others.
