Night Zookeeper

Night Zookeeper

Night ZooKeeper is a digital experience designed for children to have fun, be creative and learn at the same time. It is turning children from passive consumers of online entertainment into a community of engaged creators.

Its innovative outlook and quirky image have won it an army of admirers and seen it rewarded with a place in the esteemed Wayra Academy, a super-cool tech incubator based in central London and endorsed by Boris Johnson.  In the last 12 months, Night Zookeeper has reached over 500 schools and provided resources for 10,000 lessons, and can claim 1,700 teacher supporters. Its prototype website has had 215,000 hits from 112 countries. Not bad for a company that's under a year old and has a grand total of four employees.
