THE PROBLEM

Access

We believe that every human is born with a super ability. However, in today’s busy lives, it is harder than ever for parents to give their children access to a full spectrum of extra-curricular activities – it’s harder than ever for Kids to unlock their hidden super powers. 

THE SOLUTION

Independent Growth

A gateway to endless hours of physical fun; after-school, on the weekend or at a family BBQ. Now via the Elanation mobile application, Kids gain exclusive access to hundreds of inspirational sports skill tutorials. Learn via step-by-step or follow-along videos professionally produced by Elanation’s elite team of athletes and coaches. Beginner, intermediate or advanced, there are skills for all levels!

THE TEAM

Founders

Elanation’s co-founders Aimee Atkins (COO) and Katherine Maree Pace (CEO) began realising the Elanation dream in 2016. Their backgrounds in children’s entertainment, industrial design and competitive sport have bolstered a network of investors, engineers, athletes and designers to join the community mission in building a trusted brand for the kids technology and sport world. 

THE BRAND

‘Elan’ means…

The name ‘Elanation’ was born on a walk through a Sydney park. In latin, the word ‘Elan’ means “energy, style, and enthusiasm”. Merged with the word ‘nation”, ‘Elanation’ defines our team’s deep value to create a global nation of children who play energetically and enthusiastically without borders.

At the centre of all of our design and engineering decisions is the consideration of a child’s mental and physical health. We put the child first, without comprising ‘style’ for education. 

The Elanation star pays tribute to the seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, representing our team’s Australian heritage. We wanted a symbol that represented our beginnings, as well as our approach of inspiring children to always ‘reach for the stars’, in every goal that they set for themselves.
