An absolutely brilliant game! Really fun to play, very captivating storyline - and the fact that my daughter learned (and retained) so much about electricity and circuits was amazing to me! I was very impressed with the graphics too. Overall, a wonderful idea fantastically executed!

Who is this person???

Hi! My name is Sarah :)

When I was studying for my physics degree, I was one of very few women. It wasn't the friendliest environment, and I want to change that. I want anyone who is interested to feel like they belong in STEM.

I believe in

  • Growth mindset over "being smart"

  • Conceptual understanding rather than just memorization

  • Active, motivated puzzles rather than rote practice problems

  • Customizing learning for each individual!

And that learning is intrinsically fun!

✨ 100% Delight Guarantee! ✨

My goal is to bring joy and inspire curiosity with every purchase. If you're not absolutely delighted, just email me within 30 days, and I’ll refund you right away—no questions asked!"
