NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited ("NetDragon" or "the
Company", Hong Kong Stock Code: 777), a global leader in building
internet communities, is excited to announce that its subsidiary,
JumpStart, a leader in learning-based games for children, won the
first video gaming partnership with the Smithsonian's National Zoo
and Conservation Biology Institute ("Smithsonian") to build an
unprecedented augmented reality app that will focus on encouraging
and teaching conservation. Children ages 9-12 will explore
threatened and endangered animals in their own habitat with
technology that inspires creativity while building their own
virtual habitats. Imbued with Smithsonian's groundbreaking
scientific research for the conservation of wildlife and habitats,
the game empowers children to make fact-based decisions as they
interact with and build ideal environments for each species.
As one of the world's most trusted brands in the educational gaming
space, JumpStart along with the Smithsonian's National Zoo and
Conservation and Biology Institute will further Smithsonian's
global efforts to save species from extinction by introducing a new
generation to the fascinating wildlife on Earth through gameplay.
In addition to learning fun and curious facts about the creatures
themselves, players will have an opportunity to take a deeper dive
into how zoos ensure the wellbeing of their animals and contribute
to conservation efforts.
As a subsidiary of NetDragon, JumpStart has the resources to create
an app with animal-centric gameplay that will allow children to
care for and interact with animals in a more enhanced way than
other zoo apps currently on the market and to reach a global
audience of budding conservationists.
Jim Czulewicz, CEO of JumpStart says, "JumpStart is honored to
collaborate alongside these esteemed partners to grow our global
brand and further our mission to educate children about animals and
conservation and build a lifelong love of caring for all animal
species and the skills to take care of our planet. No other app
features the uniquely educational and animal centric gameplay that
stems from the collaboration between JumpStart and Smithsonian.
Together, our companies will create a product that is more engaging
and has more depth than any of the competing zoo apps and build
future generations of conservationists."
"We are thrilled to collaborate with JumpStart who has an
established reputation for using technology to create immersive
educational experiences," says Pamela Baker-Masson, Associate
Director of Communications, Planning and Exhibits at the
Smithsonian's National Zoo. "Smithsonian scientists are tackling
the most pressing ecological challenges and we want this platform
to highlight our science and engage young audiences to virtually
join in our mission to save species."
