Innology, working with client Numedeon, Inc. of Pasadena, CA, has successfully led a proposal effort to apply Numedeon's edutainment platform, Whyville.net, to address the needs of Texas' workforce development efforts. Under the proposal, Numedeon will develop a virtual biotechnology company inside of Whyville.net. Through the effort, Numedeon will reach 20,000 Texas youth with engaging biotechnology activities and will refer 1,000 to web resources for programs in their locale. Whyville, founded in 1999, is an edutainment virtual world for tweens and youth ages 8 to 15. Whyville has 1.7 million registered users with spaces sponsored by NASA, the Getty Museum, the University of Texas and Toyota Scion. |
