What is Friducation?
Born January 2010, Friducation was a word cerated to describe our (Pixel Dreams Team) dedication to personal and professional development, specifically on Fridays. Today, Friducation, and this site, has become a canvas for expressing our wild and adventurous culture, and thoughtful pursuit of knowledge. From Star Trek to field trips, Friducation is the non-profit community aspect of our for-profit companies.

Don’t be the bottom half!
