A world of knowledge-rich videos, built to inspire.

Brainfeed is an educational iPad app made for kids seven years and older. Behind the scenes a team sifts through the massive amount of video available on the web and curates the very best educational video that is both age-appropriate and curriculum based.

The result is content that engages kids and is both animation rich and of high visual quality. The best of the web, in a kid-friendly package.

We were responsible for developing the app as well as the Ruby-based backend system. Design was done by the wonderful Anne-Sophie Leens.
