Growing up, cartoons on TV were a fun and lighthearted part of my life. I lived for Saturday mornings when I’d have the chance to watch some of my favorites before heading outside to play. I remember proudly reciting Spanish words to my parents that I learned from watching fluffy characters on TV. I felt like such a sense of accomplishment having learned something new I could share with my family. Games were an important part of my development as well. I learned a lot about thinking strategically during family game nights with my parents and siblings.Kids love cartoons and games. Educational cartoons and games present lots of opportunities for you to engage in learning as a family.
There is a new kickstarter for an exciting new educational game for your family. Diskopets is a cartoony, educational, online game world for younger kids. Diskopets has worked to combine the amusing and whimsical nature of cartoons with software to create an educational world that kids can play with. What is unique about Diskopet is that it combines cute cartoony characters, digital technology and education and gives parents a way to customize it, while giving kids educational content, disguised as a game. In this world, Kids play games with cartoony pets and learn about science and arts, and parents can customize the educational material.
The characters are small, cute, funny pets living high above us in the sky, on a floating island world. Kids will have fun choosing different characters each with it’s own personality. They take care of and raise these pets, as they play and learn with each other in the multiplayer world. Diskopets uses artificial-intelligence to give each character different emotions and over time pets learn new things. Pets are happy, sad and responsive to kids as a real pet is and kids learn as they raise their pet.
With Diskopets kids can be creative in all sorts of fun ways. They can express themselves in the Art Room drawing paintings and coloring pictures or they can learn about math and science while solving puzzles. Learning about healthy nutrition is fun as kids grow vegetables and fruits and cook them in kitchen.
The best part of Diskopets is opportunity it offers parents to be involved. While television is passive and most educational games are played individually, Diskopets offers a unique opportunity to involve parents in multiple ways, with cooperative and multiplayer gameplay, in-game chats, and customization of educational material. Kids and parents can play together and can even interact within the game, playing and chatting with each other and visiting the homes of their pets, all while learning useful educational material. Each of the places with Diskopets can be customized by changing the education content, giving parents lots of opportunities to focus on the educational elements important to their child’s current stage of development.
