Seat of the Pants Productions focuses on news for kids

metromode, 11/5/2009

Patricia De Angelis always gets a kick out of helping children realize their potential, so much so that she is turning her idea into a Howell-based start-up – Seat of the Pants Productions.

"It's a passion that I have always had, inspiring kids to excel," says De Angelis, CEO of Seat of the Pants Productions.

The newly formed enterprise is creating a website that will offer a new story for children on a monthly basis. It will include larger vocabulary words that users can click to find the definitions and synonyms and also use the words in a sentence.

The website is similar to a game De Angelis played with her nieces and nephews where she gave them a new vocabulary word, explained its meaning, and had them use it in a sentence.

"They just had a great time," she says. "It's wonderful to watch them do that. It's a very empowering experience for them."

De Angelis is looking for start-up capital to get the website off the ground. She plans to nail it down and launch the site within the next year.
