In 2010, Iseri, who is half-Japanese, received a fellowship with the Center for Asian American Media and in 2012 developed the app The Digits for elementary school children who are struggling with math and math concepts. The web series enlists talent from the Pacific NW, specifically Portland, Oregon, and the curriculum of the show is designed for third and fourth graders, a time when "Math and science learning get harder at around age 8," he says. "So there's not much for children to watch."[2] Early careerAn Ontario, Oregon, native, Iseri graduated from Willamette University in 2001 with a degree in theater, and moved to Chicago and pursued a freelance career as a sound designer for theater and radio. He also worked as a producer and contributing editor for Chicago Public Radio on a weekly show called Smart City Radio. The Paper Hat GameIseri also created the Paper Hat Game, an urban ARG played on public transit. In Chicago, he became known as the "Paper Hat Guy" after handing out newspaper hats to hundreds of train and bus riders. The game later inspired a toy theater piece by Duke University Professor Torry Bend. The show "The Paper Hat Game" toured nationally[3], and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award[4] in 2016. The DigitsOn November 16, 2012, Iseri's app The Digits became available in an iOS version to the App Store with its first episode entitled The Digits: Fraction Blast. The app features a 45-minute video and more than a dozen mini-games that teach a math curriculum focused specifically on fractions. "Unlike the majority of educational apps, says Iseri, The Digits follows the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum and the app was also created under the guidance of a {{sic|cirriculum}} designer and implemented by a 20-year veteran school teacher."[5] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Miller|first=Liz Shannon|title=writer, GigaOm|url=https://www.nytimes.com/external/gigaom/2009/08/28/28gigaom-scotty-iseri-leaves-his-office-job-a-victory-for-43852.html|accessdate=August 28, 2009|newspaper=NY Times}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Iseri, Scotty}}2. ^{{cite news|last=Row|first=DK|title=Business Writer|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/small-business/index.ssf/2012/07/filmmaker_scotty_iseri_takes_s.html|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=July 16, 2012}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/27/theater/review-urban-nightmares-as-puppets-in-the-paper-hat-game.html|title=Review: Urban Nightmares as Puppets in ‘The Paper Hat Game’|last=Brantley|first=Ben|date=2016-06-26|work=The New York Times|access-date=2018-01-31|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://dramadeskawards.com/nominees|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225151924/http://dramadeskawards.com/nominees|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2016-02-25|title=Photos|website=dramadeskawards.com|access-date=2018-01-31}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Reyburn|first=Scott|title=Writer|url=http://www.insidemobileapps.com/2012/11/16/educational-app-the-digits-fraction-blast-aims-to-teach-math-for-the-next-generation-of-kids/|newspaper=Inside Mobile Apps|date=November 16, 2012}} 6 : 1979 births|Willamette University alumni|Living people|American Internet celebrities|American artists of Japanese descent|People from Ontario, Oregon |
