New learning apps for Caribbean preschoolers
‘Krik Krak One’ Apps, a series of Interactive Ebooks and apps that use traditional Caribbean stories to teach preschoolers about Science,Maths, and Technology will soon be introduced in the Caribbean. Adventure and humour are cleverly meshed with environmental and social education for kids to see science as fun. The series is loosely based on original stories of the Afro-Caribbean character Anansi.
The project, implemented by Full Circle Animation Studio in Trinidad and Tobago and supported by the Ministry of Planning and Development, focuses on pre-schoolers (ages 2-5) and has attracted funding from Microsoft Innovation Centre (MIC). The Apps are currently in production and will be available later in 2015 in English and Spanish.
Microsoft Innovation Centre, will provide resources and support for students, entrepreneurs and startups, accelerating creation of new companies, jobs and growth of the local software ecosystem. Services provided at the MIC are designed to boost ICT technology development and foster growth of sustainable local software economies through skills and professional training, industry partnerships and innovation. It accommodates stakeholders such as academic institutions, industry and government.
