| 'BeBlocky' now available on Google Play StoreAn app to teach children the basics of programming, available on Android devices.
By: BeBlocky, Inc. BeBlocky starts off with BlockyBot – a friendly programmable robot – wandering around the kids' playground, waiting to be programmed. Thanks to toy-brick like programming blocks, children can easily understand the coding steps and grasp the variety of commands featured on the app. By dragging and dropping these blocks, they can creatively stack together programming components – events and operations –, thus programming BlockyBot. This way, they can command BlockyBot's different actions, such as emotion, movement, reaction to different scenarios and many more. The BeBlocky app features and benefits: • BeBlocky tutorial: a learning tool with a help feature to teach the basic schematics of programming and how to operate the app • enhanced self-expression: • teaches valuable life skills: helps children improve their problem solving skill, develop logical thinking and approach tasks sequentially • suitable for everyone: primarily targets school children (aged between 8-14 years) but can be used by anyone over that age looking for an introduction to programming or even a simple mind puzzle game • designed to attract as well as interact with children and is not gender-specific • over eight different categories to program and command BlockyBot BeBlocky is now available worldwide on Google Play Store for free. The app is currently available in English language, with plans to release the app with other languages such as Arabic and French. Perfect timing for the app, as the Ethiopian National ICT Exhibition starts next month in the city. "Other versions are under construction, the next one featuring Augmented Reality (AR) to project the programmable friendly robot – BlockyBot – into the real world" in the eyes of Nathan Damtew, the Founder and CEO of BeBlocky, Inc."Targets have also been set to introduce different brand mascots as characters and an in-app toy store to personalize every child's experience".
