Founded in 1999 by Avraham Kadar M.D., BrainPOP is the leading producer of animated educational movies for grades K-12. Each day, four to five million students watch BrainPOP movies and exchange messages with a dynamic cast of five characters who lead them through related activities on the BrainPOP web site: interactive quizzes and games, comic strips and experiments. Twenty-five percent of U.S. school districts subscribe to BrainPOP and integrate its offerings into daily curriculum. The company has developed partnerships with Time Warner, Popular Science, McGraw-Hill, National Geographic, AOL @ SCHOOL, Yahoo! and Road Runner. BrainPOP has won multiple education and media awards including the District Administration Curriculum Award, top honors at the Flash Film Festival, Forbes Best of the Web and AEP's Distinguished Achievement Award for Educational Websites for Children. BrainPOP's first print title, "The Science Almanac for Kids," was published in Summer 2004.
