mTiny Kit: A Thoughtful Approach to Early Childhood Learning

Based on the theory of multiple intelligences, mTiny is crafted to cater to young children's cognitive development, making learning both educational and enjoyable. This robot engages preschoolers with fun and interactive games, promoting logical thinking and problem-solving abilities in a playful, immersive environment.

Making Learning Engaging and Fun

mTiny uses a variety of tools—such as themed maps, coding cards, an engaging storybook, and tap-to-code interactions—to ensure learning is entertaining. Children can improve their computational thinking skills by completing tasks outlined in the storybook or by exploring different solutions on their own. The robot encourages independent thinking, allowing children to gain confidence as they discover and experiment through play.

Promoting Creative Thinking Through Cross-Disciplinary Content

mTiny's playful games spark interest in a range of subjects, including coding, math, English, and music. By encouraging children to solve practical problems, it nurtures divergent thinking and a cross-curricular approach to learning. Stay tuned for the upcoming Math, English, and Music kits.

Screen-Free Learning for Full Engagement

mTiny operates without the need for mobile phones or tablets, offering a screen-free experience that promotes focused learning. The physical Tap Pen Controller, along with cards and maps, ensures children are not distracted by the internet or video games, keeping them fully immersed in the hands-on learning process. This approach also protects their eyes from potential screen-related damage.
