On our roadmap

• Applied Neuroscience

  We plan to draw on published, peer-reviewed research on play-based learning and self-regulation to counter the pull of algorithm-driven feeds.

• Research Partnerships

  We plan to pursue funding through capital partners, and institutional partnerships that support published research on brain development and test ways to measure gains in focus and attention.

• Policy Advocacy

  We plan to share what we learn with local leaders and help align public systems with community best practices, so Houston can be an example for other cities.

Research OpportunitiesA university or research partner to design the first study with us.

In the community

In the studio

• Portable Production

  We plan to build a self-contained mobile media studio that sets up quickly and asks little technical know-how of its hosts.

• In-Field Capture

  We plan to record community stories and gather real-time data where they happen, in cultural spaces and civic institutions, always with participants' consent.

• Network Licensing

  We plan to license the studio setup to partner sites, such as community centers, businesses, and universities, so each can run its own ongoing programming.

Research OpportunitiesCommunity partners to host a first visit.

In the classroom

In the workplace

• Learn by Doing

  We plan for participants to work inside real media productions, take part in the youth game lab, and build transferable skills.

• Skills and Support

  Credentials and paid participation are on our roadmap, to be defined with employer and training partners.

• Direct Placement

  We plan to help graduates move into roles with media companies, startups, and civic institutions, or start their own enterprises.

Research OpportunitiesEmployers, funders, and training partners to shape the first group.
