About Us
The idea began with a simple but powerful question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Like many parents, I was worried when my own daughter wasn’t sure, and I realised how difficult it can be for children to connect their interests with real possibilities. That moment sparked the vision for FirstRay.
We are a team of parents, teachers, and IT professionals dedicated to bringing FirstRay to life. We believe every child deserves the chance to dream big and discover their true potential.
Why FirstRay Matters
Children start forming ideas about who they can be as early as age 7, yet too often those ideas are limited by stereotypes or a lack of exposure. Many parents feel unsure how to guide their child’s dreams.
At the same time, the world is undergoing rapid change. The jobs of tomorrow will demand creativity, adaptability, and confidence.
That’s why we created FirstRay: a fun, engaging game that helps children explore their interests, discover new possibilities, and grow in confidence, while giving parents and teachers a supportive way to nurture those big dreams.
With FirstRay, we’re not just preparing children for the future; we’re helping them believe in it.
