How many kids would love to have a dog of their very own? Yet, the world is full of reasons they can’t have one. Another family member is allergic. The landlord won’t allow it. The family moves too often. No one would be home to care for it. “Our […]
I was thinking of your child (and me) when I ...
Diana and Maria have traveled to participate at the annual Native Innovation EdTech Conference, where they’ll be undertaking one of our most ambitious projects yet – creating a completely new game with workshop attendees. Follow along with them as they Evrybit from Flagstaff.
Every “Bit” of our Day at Native Innovation
I remember in 2nd grade, I made my own multiplication flashcards. I don’t remember exactly how long it took me, but it felt like forever. Even though it felt like a waste of time and possibly the end of the world, I am so glad my teacher assigned it to […]
Confessions of A Dramatic 6 Year Old
We made a game where you can buy stuff with math problems. Yes, we are awesome. Today’s game is a memory card game, part of our game Making Camp! Ahhhhh I know what you’re thinking….ANOTHER memory card game. I remember playing the memory card game with my older brother, who […]
Memory Game Brings Back Memories
That teacher-friend of yours, Ms. Robinson, I hate her! This comment came from a very nice woman who had a child in my friend’s class, and she sounded like she meant it, too. Let’s call her Diana, because that wasn’t her name . I said, Come on, you don’t mean […]

Welcome to Camp Don’t Get Dumber Over the Summer
5 Idioms can be tough to explain. I mean, you’re basically saying, “This combination of words means something totally different than what the actual words mean.” As we’ve built out language arts elements in both our upcoming Making Camp Premium and AzTech apps, we asked teachers what they thought we should […]
Make Your Own Idiom Book
When I was 7 years old, my forte was Yui-Gi-Oh. Does that not sound familiar? It’s a fictional Japanese gaming cartoon that has existed since the 1990s and I was obsessed how a card can turn into a creature. This show stole my early Saturday mornings and I began collecting […]
E3-Dreams Do Come True
A year ago, I traveled to Flagstaff to attend the Native Innovation EdTech conference. To be honest, heading out there, I didn’t know what to expect, but the event certainly seemed to align completely with our company mission. It was an incredible conference – where we debuted Making Camp, which […]
Creating an Innovative Game at Native Innovation
It’s the end of another week and that means that it’s time for the Freebie Friday. Today’s freebie is from “AzTech Games”. The freebie is clip art of codices featured in the game. The codices are Mayan and are an important part of the plot of the game. You can […]
Freebie Friday: AzTech Games – Clip art
Going through our archives, we came across this great post by Dr. AnnMaria De Mars from December 13, 2015 “Winners Know When to Quit“ that we wanted to share in case you missed it the first time around. Twice in the last week, I’ve had people say to me, expecting agreement, […]
