Neon Wild’s Vision: Metaverse for Families
We are a company established in 2021 dedicated to ensuring that all children are heroes of their own stories. We provide families with personalized child development and entertainment platforms built on a universe of imagination. We are a community of passionate creators, technologists, and researchers, bringing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to the forefront of children’s education and entertainment.
SEL is a process where “young people acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve goals, feel and show empathy … maintain relationships, and make responsible decisions” (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, 2020).
Parents, teachers, educators, and researchers know the power of storytelling in childhood education. However, many stories that children read position the readers as deuteragonists or secondary characters. In the Neon Wild metaverse, your child becomes the protagonist or main character.
Imagine your kids in the Neon Wild, the stars of immersive adventures. In these adventures, our edutainment platform is play-to-learn and eventually play-to-earn.
What differentiates Neon Wild from other companies is our focus on personalization & individualization. We collaborate with parents to ensure that what we’re building is loved by all.
At Neon Wild, we work diligently to spark the imagination of every child, building a growth mindset, or positive attitude. A growth mindset has been correlated with improved executive function & leadership skills (“Having a Growth Mindset” by Dweck, 2016).
How are Neon Wild characters created?
We use game-changing, character creation software that gives every child the ability to create, modify, and build characters in their likeness. Character creation is completed in four simple steps: scan, characterize, customize, and enjoy. We capture an image scan of your child and you just follow the steps to characterize and customize. Then your hero is ready to go!
Our patent-pending technology utilizes machine learning models to create an avatar that embodies the essence of your child with Neon Wild’s unique artistic style! No matter who you are or where you’re from, your child can be a hero in the Neon Wild.
Finally, kids all over the world can see themselves represented in immersive stories & in the community we are building. In this constantly changing educational landscape, families will have a community and support network at Neon Wild.
Creating a personalized character is just the beginning of what we hope is a lifelong educational journey with Neon Wild. Head to our Discord Server to interact with our community. Follow our socials by clicking here.
Safety and Security
Nothing is more important to us than the privacy and safety of you and your family. We adhere to strict standards of encryption, give parents complete control over account privileges, and are in full compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Check back as we continue to share resources on maintaining your digital privacy. We are dedicated to the transparency of our process, every step of the way.
The Neon Wild Metaverse
Our metaverse is constantly expanding as we add new possibilities for your children. We are working diligently to create wondrous stories and adventures built on the foundations of Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Kids explore the Neon Wild with their custom characters, fostering a nurturing community, creating better humans for our planet. The latest generations of children are inheriting a more divisive, digital, and complicated world. Neon Wild is a universe of wonder that gives kids the tools they need to navigate that world.
Neon Wild creates a world where personalization enables representation for everyone. We also provide safe, educational, and fun ways to spend screen time. The representation students get from these stories encourages a love of reading at all levels and supports equity in education.
