Everstory

Everstory is the first free voice & visual encyclopedia for pre-readers. Everstory is a free audio/visual encyclopedia exploration environment accessed via a mobile-friendly web-app. Everstory's initial content is crowd-sourced by certified elementary educators and teacher librarians via a wiki content contribution site. All Everstory content is moderated, verified, and released by a team of dedicated volunteer educators & information scientists. Everstory is possible because of strategically designed information architecture and software code that connects the wiki site and the web-app. We envision a future in which every pre-reader on Earth can freely, safely, and independently: 1) ask, access, and understand evidence-based, neutral-point-of-view answers to their questions, 2) use their voice and visuals to explore their curiosity, 3) “rabbit-hole” while browsing information, starting with their interests and continuing to expand their learning with pertinent, connected information, and 4) share what they are asking, searching, exploring, and learning with others. For future generations, Everstory envisions increased cross-cultural empathy, common awareness and understanding, and peaceful global collaboration.
