Instinct Corporation

Instinct® Corporation, based in the Silicon Valley, is the leading educational software company focusing exclusively on developing communication skills through story telling and movie making. As an independent developer and publisher, the company is able to offer extraordinarily innovative products of uncompromised quality. These are all characterized by their exquisite mix of art, technology and psychology. Instinct has a lifelong tradition of working closely with universities, educators and children and in this way ensures the efficacy of its products.

The company's movie making product line, Magic Theatre® and the Cartoon Maker Series, bring the tradition of story telling into the computer age by enabling children as young as three to make their own movies. These titles allow the fluid blending of illustration, animation, narration and music. The result is stunning computer movies that belie the ease with which they were created. Users develop their artistic skills, speech, extemporization, sense of drama and above all, are able to tell their own story. Magic Theatre movies submitted from around the world are available from the company's web site.

Language Adventure® 1, developed in conjunction with Stanford University second language researchers, employs a natural language learning process that gets children speaking in a foreign language in minutes. The product is designed for ages 6 to 12 and teaches English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Schools using this product are now able to add foreign languages and ESL to their curriculum without hiring additional staff.
