NoodleHead Network
The NoodleHead Network produces, markets, and distributes educational videotapes created from a kid's eye view. Kids play an integral role in the creation of each tape-from script development, to acting, to editing. Then a group of "ex-kids"-writers, producers, and educators translate those ideas into unique videos that educate and inspire.
