WORK EXPERIENCE |
Appyzoo Inc (Stickery) |
July 2010 - Present |
|
- Mobile learning games for preschool kids and parents.
- Stickery is a mobile learning game platform for parents to manage kids' playtime. Our goal is to converge "play-time" with "learn-time". - Many parents use their iPhones as a "babysitter" because kids (3-5 yrs old) love it vs traditional toys. However, most apps don't help parents to prepare kids for school because of the Goldilocks problem: apps are either too fun (games) or boring (education apps). - Stickery is a story-based suite of apps built by 2 ex-Stanford entrepreneurs & an award-winning kids' media producer. All our game content is based on preschool curriculum standards & approved by educators. Our apps collect usage data to generate progress reports for parents. These reports help them track the learning value of playtime on the iPhone. - |
