Background
The founders of this project do not have an education background but as a result of the Kindersite have been 'recruited' in to the education world to utilize their skills within technology and education.
Today the founders have become an important part of many government funded, innovative, education projects applying technology and games in to language learning and other educational subjects.
They are also involved at the forefront of game-based learning, advising educational game developers on business development, globally.
