14 years ago we started telling a story, and we haven't stopped yet!
Timelines have always played an important part in the development and culture of this company. In the first years we came to be known as "the timeline people". Through our timelines, ETC has brought to life some of the most extraordinary stories. They have been collected, admired and used by children around the world. Because we believe, ultimately, that each story a child discovers in one of our timelines is a small part of what makes us human.
Now discover for yourself what goes into creating a great story.
With each scale perfectly calibrated
Every life lived on this planet has a story. Every story is a small part of a culture. How will you show this connection?
A timeline is more than just pictures and text on a paper. Our timelines are calibrated to show multiple stories, and perspectives, over a number of subjects. Line them up and watch the children discover how a single idea can move the world forward, or bring an empire to its knees.
Keeping it simple
A story should be easy to understand. Most of all though it should be easy to follow. Our timelines are not just another set of materials. Every timeline we create is designed to bring together other subjects so that children can realize the big picture.
Information is carefully chosen so that it purposefully guides the children to explore, discover and understand.
If it doesn't become real?
Our connection goes beyond the simple facts. It transcends time and helps one understand the past. We are more than just a collective of knowledge. What shows up in today's headlines or screen has its roots in a story that started over 500 years ago when a movable alphabet was invented.
Because every story we tell really does matter.
And every story connects us to an even greater reality.
Because who we are, what we do and who we become, depends on how we connect our past with how we live in the present!
Our timelines explore the cosmic story.
