“Popular Mechanics for Kids meets The Magic School Bus.”


Cranium Cookie is an educational web series for kids that ran from 2014 - 2016. This series was the brain child of Charlie Barangan, who enlisted the help of Adrianna Prosser and myself. With a varied range of skills, we were an excellent team in creating this series.

Through community outreach and building our social channels, Charlie and Adrianna were responsible for our series gaining access to some high profile shooting locations such as Reptilia, LEGOland Discovery Centre, and the Ontario Science Centre, where we not only met Chris Hadifled, but gifted him some horseradish. 

My involvement in the series was heavy behind the scenes, having a major hand in shooting, editing, and creating graphics for the series to keep the look consistent throughout.

In 2015, Cranium Cookie took home the award for Best Documentary or Educational Series at the IAWTV awards, which was presented by Larry King. The show was later acquired by Shaftsbury Kids, and lives on their YouTube channels, as well as the Cranium Cookie YouTube channel.
