Imagination Education
Our Projects
CSI: CREDIT SCENE INVESTIGATORS
How do you take something like “financial literacy” and make it interesting? Make a crime show about it, of course! With some cool camera moves and intriguing young actors, CSI should catch your eye. Imagination Education is still looking for partners to take this project to the next level, but in the meantime, get a sneak peek at our new proof of performance video.
YEAH, WRITE. WHATEVER
We’re moving forward with Yeah, Write Whatever and are pleased to announce the January 2010 launch of the YWW website, at www.yeahwritewhatever.com. Just like a good story, it all started with some ideas. To see the new stuff, visit the new website – and if this is your first visit and you want a little taste of our YWW “first draft,” watch this proof of performance video!
