Virtual Worlds for education and business

March 2009 — Present (9 months)

Daynuv builds Virtual Worlds for Education and Business. I co-founded Daynuv with Keith Kennedy in early 2009 and our first project was to build 'Virtual Europe' for Gaelscoil.com in association with Communicating Europe Day, an annual initiative run by the Department of Foreign Affairs. We have since been given the backing of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland to develop projects focusing on special needs education. We are currently working with 6 education organisations and plan to launch Ireland's first virtual worlds grid in September '09
