A picture is worth a thousand words but should the picture be a complex mathematical equation or a chemical reaction portrayed in a spatial three dimensional form, much easier to grasp and remember.
We provide advanced modules, with exclusivity to the UK and German education market (primary and secondary) to engage, immerse and edutain children in the core STEM subjects in the classroom. Utilizing 3D and augmented reality, the long term memory is activated and the imparted information is not only easier, through visual enhancement, to understand but also retained. If you like “The bridge between gaming and learning”.
The Science
The positive results of 3D learning module tests have been shown in a number of studies. Here is a link to a graph of the results from a test done with 42 children on a GCSE Module of Biology (Source). Although the results are not a scientific fact they are anecdotal that the information has transferred to the long term memory and more readily available when a test is presented. For more in-depth information the white papers written by Professor Dr Anne Bamford, Director of the International Research Agency (Advantages of 3D), and the report from the BBC (Source).
Media Attention
We have attracted considerable media attention with invites from Maggie Philbin, BBC – filming for BBC Breakfast, the Teen Tech events, Association of Science Educators, The BETTS, Oxford, Reading and Northampton Universities, Bedales, Wellington, Eton, Kings College London, Millfield, Kings Bruton, Robert Blake Science Academy and a host more.
We are working in collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry and have collaboration requests from schools, colleges and universities from around the globe.
Use of Funds
We formed in Dec 2014 and have self-funded to date. The funds will be utilized to create and run a dynamic, strategic marketing and PR campaign. The systems require demonstration to the target market – only then can the full impact and advantages be experienced.
We have invitations to demonstrate to schools, colleges, academies and universities from the top to the bottom of the UK and further afield. The Marketing and PR campaign will focus on enlightening and informing the market on the obvious advantages in 3D systems in the learning environment and building on the relationships with media providers such as ASE, BBC, Big Bang and others.
Market Analysis
We believe the introduction of augment reality/virtual reality in the school teaching environment is a new and fascinating venture. It is bringing the schools technology that the children will be confronted with when they leave school. It is already established in America.

Competition
To the best of our knowledge there is no competition in the UK at present. There is one in Sweden who we believe have an inferior offering in 3D modules, we understand they have only 27 modules with no dissection capabilities. There is also an Indian company striving to enter the UK market. We understand their offering is not adaptive to the teacher’s requirements, nor can a teacher modify it to fit their particular requirement. Should competition develop we aim to be perfectly placed with exclusive superior products and agreements to out compete.
