Bluprint by Bitsbox
Bitsbox has been teaching kids how to code their own Javascript apps for several years. Now they’re building an exciting new platform called Bluprint, where kids can build and code their very own 3D worlds—simple places to hang out, or they can use code to build complex games. We’re so excited for Bluprint to launch! In the meantime, if you’d like to get involved you can sign up for updates and to be a Beta tester here.
Gaming by the Numbers

We Love Print!
Our team has well over 30 years of experience designing and producing beautiful and engaging print products used in classrooms in Canada, the US, and around the world. Here is a recent print design project we’re really proud of!
Share It!
MacMillan/RedNova
American English as a foreign language
For this ambitious project, we collaborated with an international editorial team to create over 1,000 pages across 7 grade levels.
We prototyped the Student Book, establishing the look-and-feel for the entire program.
We then managed all illustration, page design and production for multiple components of the program including the Student Book, Student Handbook, and Teacher’s Guide.
The end result: an engaging educational product that encourages students to build confidence in speaking, reading, and writing English as a second language.
Benefit from our expertise in print design and production: Call us at 416-716-9660 or send an email. We would love to discuss how we can meet your needs.
Our team loves working with animators, illustrators, and editors to bring content to life through animation!
Animated Intros
Compass Learning

Inspiring the Student
