What is it? Me, the great new kids app from Brooklyn’s digital education studio, who Tinybop, who we’ve raved about previously. Users create an avatar, give details on their favourite colours, their ideas, their school, their friends, their pets and their family. It also encourages emotional awareness by asking kids to think about their feelings and how they have reacted to people and experiences.

It’s good because it fosters opportunities for children to think about their feelings, and to talk about them with their family and friends. The app asks open ended questions to encourage kids to reflect on the world around them, to think in detail about the people in their lives. It’s expected that the app will soon go into double-blinded scientific studies to see how well it does!

TINYBOP X SKYSCRAPERS X APP DESIGN

Last week, Brooklyn-based startup Tinybop released its eleventh app, Skyscrapers. Within five days, it was among the top ten apps on the US App Store and top of the kids category in both the UK and Germany.

The app allows children to design tall buildings and create their own city skyline. They can also operate lifts, create plumbing leaks and power surges or simply watch residents wander from room to room through bathrooms, offices and kitchens.
