Inviting Children ages 4-6 to play Every Body Has a Brain
Morphonix is inviting children ages 4-6 to play parts of our latest game, Every Body Has a Brain at our Sausalito office. We'll pay the kids with gift certificates and put their picture and bio on our web site with our prominent neuroscience advisors.

If you live in the Bay area, and know a child ages 4-6 who’d like to play Every Body Has a Brain, call or email us at 415.331.5010 or hello@morphonix.com. Our offices are in beautiful, downtown Sausalito.

Giving the Brain a Technology Break
Every year, the Morphonix team goes away to the ocean for a few days to design our games. Changing our routine and surroundings helps jumpstart our creativity.

We leave our computers at the office, go to a place without internet or cell phone reception, and give the logical, rational parts of our brains a rest. We have more of those aha moments when we slow down and have time to notice the big picture.

Watch our monthly video podcasts to see the creative process at work while Morphonix develops our latest video game, "Every Body Has a Brain" for children ages 4-6.

For close to 20 years, Morphonix has been producing video games that make abstract concepts of brain science fun and comprehensible to children.

Bringing Learning into the Digital Age
I started Morphonix almost twenty years ago with the hope that digital media would transform our archaic education system. We’re finally bringing learning into the digital age.

President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" Campaign announced Nov. 23, is calling for new efforts to reimagine and improve education in science and math.

The same day, the MacArthur Foundation announced a $2 million open competition for creative ideas to transform learning using digital media. The competition seeks designers, inventors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and others to build digital media experiences — the learning labs of the 21st Century — that help young people interact, share, build, tinker, and explore in new and innovative ways. http://www.dmlcompetition.net/

Morphonix' award winning science games continue to lead the way in transforming science education in the digital age.
