Press Release Summary: The Entomological Foundation partners with Harbinger
Knowledge Products for teaching kids science through insects with the help of
innovative game-based multimedia content

Press Release Body: The Entomological Foundation, a national 501 (c)3 not-for-profit
organization in USA has partnered with Harbinger Knowledge Products, the innovator
of award-winning products and services and recognized global leader in the elearning
space, for design and development of innovative game-based online learning content
for K3 and K4 grade audience.

The objective of the online content is to better reflect the Foundation's mission
"to build a future for entomology by educating young people about science through
insects" by offering educational interactive activities.

"This is a special initiative because educating children about the exciting world of
insects and their role in our environment through the use of interactive multimedia
activities is quite a challenging task. The self-learning content should not only
bring compelling visuals for retaining engagement of a child but should also follow
innovative instructional strategy ensuring learning-through-fun at the end. Finally,
we have to keep in mind that the multimedia content should load fast even in slow
Internet connection, or else children will lose interest. We found Harbinger as the
ideal partner to work with for its demonstrated capability and experience in
interactive content design and development and technology understanding", said April
Gower, Executive Vice President, The Entomological Foundation.

Harbinger will design and develop a series of interactive games and learning
activities, which will be accessible through the Foundation's website.

"We are glad to associate with the Foundation in this unique initiative. Learning
science through insects is a unique concept and applying game-based multimedia
method for this is ideal for kids to learn meaningfully in an online environment. I
congratulate the Foundation for taking this step. Harbinger is well known for its
ground breaking contributions and leadership in interactive content development and
this association once again underlines Harbinger's forte as a specialized company in
interactive learning content development space", said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and
Managing Director of Harbinger Group.
