PRIME TIME - Key Persons

Ben Shirley's background in interactive entertainment is just as accomplished. Ben's credits include Lego Star Wars 2, Rogue Ops, and The Chronicles of Narnia video game. Ben's simple yet engaging program layout (the look of the software) makes the game attractive to students who might be turned off by the thought of educational software. During Taylor's mentoring session with a middle school student he realized there were no educational games young students looked forward to playing. While in school, Ben and Taylor enjoyed playing such math games as Number Munchers 1. Recognizing the void in current entertaining educational software, Ben and Taylor decided to make a game students would love to play yet that would still provide a learning experience.
