Stem Lab Games Unveils A New Learning System For Kids
"Little Engineer" Is The First In A Series Of Problem-solving Games Designed To Work With The Explorer X, An Augmented Reality System For The Ipad That Creates An Immersive And Engaging Space To Teach Stem Concepts To Children.
- San Jose, CA (1888PressRelease) July 12, 2016 - STEM Lab Games, a division of Putao Tech - an innovative technology company that develops imaginative and educational products for the early advancement of children - announced the U.S. release of "STEM Lab: Little Engineer," a logic and problem-solving game that introduces kids to the fundamentals of programming and coding in a fun and creative way. Little Engineer made its U.S. debut at Maker Faire Bay Area in May 2016.
Programming doesn't have to be rows and rows of binary digits. Little Engineer allows children to build maps, solves puzzles and develop paths that help the main character, Q, fix robots. The process demonstrates oft-used programming instructions such as sequential, looping and conditional statements. The Little Engineer and future game apps from STEM Lab Games can be implemented into a child's education … at home and school, creating an unparalleled learning experience.
The Little Engineer bundle includes the Explorer X and 15 magnetic coding blocks. The Explorer X - a cleverly designed iPad stand and mirror reflector - works with your iPad's front facing camera to create an augmented reality play space that tracks the blocks as a child interacts with them.
Through augmented reality, kids maintain a sense of spatial and tactile awareness rather than the tunnel vision that accompanies typical video games. During game play, the Explorer X allows the iPad to pick up movements of the game pieces and feeds this info back into the iPad in real time. The software stimulates kids' creative, problem-solving and spatial-relation abilities, and hones important STEM skills. The Explorer X is compatible with iPad2,iPad3, iPad 4, iPad Pro, iPad Air 1 and 2 and iPad Mini 1/2/3/4.
"Technology shouldn't be just for entertainment; it should provide something meaningful and a chance to learn," said Shawn Sheng, Putao Tech's chief product officer. "I got together with a team of creative people who shared the same vision; most of them, like me, wanted to innovate for our children and offer meaningful content through technology."
Children will rely more than ever on STEM skills in a tech-driven economy. The STEM Lab series of educational apps ensure that children are ready for the challenges of the future while having fun today. The Little Engineer and Explorer X bundle retails for $79. Now it offers an early bird price $69 at Indiegogo: bit.ly/kidsstem
