Audio channel audio jungle hello Kickstarter my name is Rafael you probably remember me from a previous project the book Papa know which was successfully backed by this amazing community three years ago it's been delivered to 700 buckers from more than 30 countries it totally helped me to launch my artistic career I've made solo exhibitions a mobile game and even a kinetic watch in Japan and now I'm really happy to show you my new project it's been inspired by my nephews they absolutely changed my life so I want to introduce the Kickstarter community a new magical adventure of children books app children's books is a series of interactive real-time animation board books in which children can perceive motions directly from paper through a special film there are three books up shapes up colors and up fouls imagine having an object in your hands and just by sliding your fingers over a special film you can feel the magic happens you won't believe your eyes you the books have rounded edges which are ideal for children to handle them safely it seems magic children learn in a unique and fun way that will allow them to develop their multiple intelligence artistic logical mathematical and spatial skills they will also acquire new language skills since the books are bilingual with texts in both English and Spanish op children's books attract children so much that they choose them over digital devices bringing them closer to the world of physical books and boosting their concentration in a playful way they can be enjoyed by people of all ages it is real time movement you however this project cannot be made without your help so I invite you all to join our community of amazing backers so you can get so many cool rewards we have for you the rewards for backers include a special limited edition of only 100 units for Kickstarter of a three in one board book interactive prints original Plexiglas art pieces and even the kinetic watch hand made in Japan so I hope you can make obsidian books come true and you can have it in your hands very soon thank you for watching it's the excitement and wonder of invention in an easy to learn quick to play card game it's fun for all ages in row my lab you're an adventure racing the build your robot and win the coveted Duvall Prize in robotics but the life of robotics is competitive and other scientists are trying to beat you hi I'm Adam and I'm Noah when we created robot lab the card game and so our fondest memories we're sitting on a table playing games with friends and family we want to bring some of the Dreaming toddlers now let's start working on the game we knew two things one it was gonna be by robots because we live in robots and two it needs to be fun for kids and still engaging enough for experienced gamers during the game you get parts to use but some won't match your robots blueprint and are better on discarded or used to setback your competitors you can also take some time to do some research grab discarded parts or even cause malfunctions to other robots along the way others try and stop you by creating ears or attaching their own annoying parts to your robot be the first scientist to build a robot with a head two arms and two legs of one color to win the accolades of the robotics community and the world no one journey from concept to design and development through hours of testing but finally we're ready to be this creation into the world and we want it to look and feel as high quality as possible but we can't do it alone help us add robot lab to your collection [Laughter] we're working on straightener which is a programming language for young kids specifically designed for five to seven year olds and is designed with them in mind so is developmentally appropriate and children can create animated stories interactive games collages or anything they imagined I like scratch jr. because there's so many programs that chica make it's like you can make your own you basically get to make your own game and do it yourself a few years ago my research group at the MIT Media Lab introduced scratch a new programming language that lets kids ages 8 and up create their own interactive stories and games and animations and kids around the world have been making millions of projects with scratch a couple of years ago we started a collaboration with Mitra the MIT Media Lab to explore how we could extend scratch for a version that's specifically designed for young children guess which one from this row makes which one for me this world in this book in your win if you do win if you get all three right computer programming or coding is like a new form of writing a new type of literacy like writing when people learn to code they learn new ways of organizing their thinking new ways of expressing ideas so when you learn to code you're learning many other things you're not just learning to code you're coding to learn now until now people have generally seen coding is something very difficult accessible only to a small subset of the population but that's starting to change we really think that coding can be and should be for everyone we believe that learning how to call is a way to express yourself it allows children to think in a systematic way so while they are expressing themselves they are also thinking about steps and problem-solving and what comes first and one comes next and that sequencing and sequencing is an important skill that leads to academic success makes it wait 50 seconds we design scratch junior to match developmental abilities of young children we look at cognitive social personal capabilities and we design the features of scratch jr. to match what young children can do we work with teachers we work with children we work with parents and we observe what they were able to do what they were not able to do and we went back and redesign scratchier many many many times so we can really be a tool for young children being a teacher in an inclusive classroom we have such differentiated needs so this idea that there's an entry point for all the different kids in my class regardless of where they're at with their learning there's some way that they can get into it and start playing around and start learning how to create things that there's a point of entry for everybody in my class we're now working on a version of scratch jr. for the iPad and we're really excited to get it out to the world so that young children ages five to seven can start following their imaginations and creating a scratch Junior we won scratched Junior to be free so the kids from all backgrounds have easy access to it but that means we need to raise funds to support the development of the software and the resources of support materials we really hope that you'll be able to help us finish the development of scratch jr. so that young children will be able to learn to code and code to learn three years ago my friend mater and I began to work on a new programming language for children ages three and up we wanted it to be tangible inclusive and accessible to all gorgeous we call it a better place learning to program in early years should be fun it should be playful we should be lucky game cubetto is a simple hands-on system that is logo turtle inspired Montessori approved and it works without the need for screens or literacy the battle playset is made up of three separate elements a friendly wooden robot called the battle that likes to be told where to go and how to get there but more crucially a physical programming console and a set of colorful coding blocks that make up a real programming language that you can touch the blocks are instructions that you combine into a program that gets better from A to B you play with algorithms functions loops and there is no right or wrong way to play the first version of the caberta playset launched three years ago and compared to his work since then we've delivered 800 beta units to parents teachers and children and over 40 countries and from Asia to Africa to the Americas one thing was clear a better future in which we don't just consume but also create with technology is one that we all want for our children we want to create a global standard and early learning and programming and if we're successful we're going to create new blocks that connect our console to more than just toys we think the potential for a tangible inclusive playful programming language can be huge and right now together we have the opportunity to make this happen the thought of meeting people in xx sign that are going to tell us different in love with programming because of what we did today is something that really inspires us and something we think is worth once upon a time we were natural makers then the world got sealed up billions of screens one size fits all then came a challenge with your support we came out with a simple kit happy now we're back with three new kits to make and code the physical cameras pixels speakers and sensors this is a camera follow the story make it yourself snap a picture code your own flashes and filters add a tripwire and you can trigger shots make a pixel grid learn its logic make it Sparkle show sound display data code your own game add a tilt sensor and take control make a speaker an electronic instrument put your own music loops and beats add a gesture sensor and burn so mix and match to make thousands of powerful projects join a world of curious people of all ages but I really never knew cameras can be attached to speakers that make matters like that barely Marinette opening up this kit making a camera I just felt really empowered useful innovative great product my little camera took really good pictures if somebody took my code and used it to on their own speaking cat I'd feel so proud it uses your whole mind like the creative side the analytical side it uses everything this is something that you feel I could do it myself way we could do it together and I could pull kind of apart the wall I think it's nice that you get to control it so it's like you know you can really make it here and really get some be a big sense of pride play with these kids learn how the world around you works and make it through something
