Brainwave
The youngest and most precocious offspring of ACK Media, Brainwave is an ambitious new science movement -- comprising of print, digital and educational products -- that seeks to redefine the way kids relate to their planet. This movement was kicked off with the launch of Brainwave magazine, which makes knowing science fun by setting it against a colourful tapestry of stories, characters and visuals. It then began a hands-on robotics workshop called BW Labs, giving kids an exciting physical space in which to engage with science and technology. And this is only the beginning! With Brainwave, ACK hopes to push its commitment to promoting knowledge and understanding to an exciting new dimension.
