The journey towards the metaverse has taken a new and weird turn. The metaverse gained popularity at a much younger audience as young adults. MiMo Studios, headed by Cyma Zarghami, announced plans to make a YouTube series that uses Web3 extensions to prepare children for a world full of NFTs.

Variety reports that the show “@Hippo Park” is aimed at preparing young children to consume content and games in the Metaverse. The web series will feature episodes that range from 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes, with each episode posted to “where [kids] are currently consuming content,” which apparently is YouTube.

@HippoPark is a place where you can always splash, climb, run and play with your friends. You might see a hippo, fly a plane, grow your own garden, dance in the rain. That’s your neighborhood park, right next door, filled with his favorite people, and lots more.”
The show is completely created in Unreal Engine and will be built from the ground up to use Web3 extensions, although it will go to the first page of Web2 (where we are now). It will be the first show of its kind to allow the community to contribute to the IP through “first-of-its-kind NFT” and in the school’s classroom, etc. It was not clear how children will create or own NFTs.
MiMo offered a set of rules to make kids and families feel safe browsing inside the space. This framework includes : “There’s a lot of it here.”
- Respect the community, especially the children.
- Assume that the audience is younger than they are, the crowd is younger than they are.
- Encourage kindness and empathy.
- Inspire creativity
- Celebrate diversity, visible and invisible.
- Make safety priority (and teach it wherever you can).
Ah yes. In the unregulated industry, “safety” has taken back a role in getting-rich-quick schemes. Throw some preschoolers in the mix and what could possibly go wrong?
