Need an example of tech for good? This is it. Scott Rice, writer-director from Austin, Texas, along with Stray Vista Studios just released a new film titled “Treasure Imagination”.

In this film, a city-boy is distraught when his beloved tablet is taken away from him by his mom. But when he finds a mysterious fedora left on a park bench, his temptation to place it on his head leads to adventure.

We are so honored to have been mentioned in the credits of Treasure Imagination alongside our mission statement, to create a world where kids are more captivated by life than screens. Whether it starts with a fedora, a blanket fort or a cardboard box, invite imagination into your child’s life today.

We've linked the film in our bio and you can find more on our blog. Enjoy!

As we enter back-to-school season, you may be anticipating the arrival of school-issued devices. Many schools assign laptops or tablets, which kids are responsible for taking care of (and using safely) the entire year. If this is the case for your family, it’s time to start thinking of the role that device will play in your home.

We gathered some questions to consider as you set boundaries around school-issued devices. What could it look like to sit down with your child and start this conversation?
