  • Make meaningful connections to climb to the summit of the Mountain of Understanding
  • Summarize the thrilling life of a talkative pirate
  • Evaluate books to successfully explore a distant solar system

"Into the Book" student activities and screenshot from Making Connections: The Mountain of Understanding

"Our challenge was to create activities that could help young children understand and practice complex concepts like synthesizing or evaluating - and have fun at the same time. Eduweb was quick to grasp the gist of what we wanted to teach, and then managed to turn our educators' vision into something delightful to look at and fun to use. As they guided us through the development process, they continually looked for solutions that would engage students in more meaningful ways. We are well satisfied with both the developoment process and the final product."

PestWorld for Kids
National Pest Management Association
Dunn Loring, Virginia

What are pests? Think of them as animals out of place. Out in nature, they're just doing their jobs. But when they move into our homes and yards, that's when we call them pests.

Collaborating with the NPMA and its public relations agency, FCF Schmidt, eduweb developed a diverse array of offerings to meet many user needs and interests: amazing facts, in-depth information, interactive games, and curricular lesson plans that get you up close and personal with these bizarre yet all-too-familiar critters. You'll never look at an ant or cockroach in the same way again.

Designed primarily for elementary school-age kids and schoolteachers, this site has something for everyone. Who can resist sending a PestCard featuring a talking termite?

eduweb's role: Concept development, information architecture, scriptwriting, visual design, illustration, animation, programming, production, and usability testing.

Kids Design Network (KDN)
DuPage Children's Museum
Naperville, Illinois

The DuPage Children's Museum was taking their popular in-school design program to the Web—but how? Technical challenges abounded, from school-age computers to district firewalls. But after extensive development and formative testing, we had an innovative and award-winning site. At school or home, kids tackle design challenges with the help of a real engineer, who consults with each kid live, via an interactive whiteboard and chat room. Empowering for kids (and engineers), this program is available at no cost for schools and homeschoolers.
