We're thrilled to unveil Wiz Words, a cutting-edge educational tool designed to revolutionize how we teach reading and writing with phonics. Created by Shine Learning Director Miranda Donald in collaboration with Picture Thinking, Wiz Words aligns with the proven Sounds-write program and brings learning to life in 7 dynamic ways. It's not just a game; it's a journey through words and imagination..

Our brief was to explain what happened in the GFC of 2008 and how we should be learning from the mistakes of the past. The target audience being the person who buys the newspaper but throws away the money section.
Our Solution as always is to capture the audiences imagination and attention. This project involved interviews, puppetry, animation and song an otherwise boring subject becomes entertaining and educational.
Our Outcome was a documentary feature film that premièred in 2015 in New York and London with global screenings in theatres, banks and educational organisations. Distribution continued via VOD services Netflix, iTunes, Vudu, Amazon. Boom Bust Boom is doing what it should in educating, entertaining and proposing a simple idea — lets adapt economics to human nature.
At the Begonia Festival in March 2023 about 1000 kids aged 4 to 12 explored six powers and drew and wrote about which power resonated with them.
The Kid Powers included Big Heart Power, Green Power, Culture Power, Think Power and Voice Power. These powers align with the six goals of our Municipal Early Years Plan. Our children had a lot to say about how important community is to them and they demonstrated that they think deeply about the world.
"Boom Bust Boom suggests a simple solution, change the teaching and the new generation of economists will change the system"
