# About

 HOME ![right-arrow](https://www.fthemes.net/hubfs/right-chevron.png) About

## The people behind the content

kartoonEDU was built for one purpose: helping the institutions that serve the public explain what matters, clearly, in their own voice. We work across education, municipal government, public health, and public works — because every one of those institutions faces the same challenge: important information that’s hard to make people care about, or hard to make people understand.

**We’re a team of storytellers, animators, writers, and producers who specialize in exactly that problem.**
