FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New kids app startup EMTC Edu has announced plans to release two
learning games. Both games aim to provide great entertainment and
support child development.
EMTC Edu thinks differently about education. The company’s
whole approach stems from the idea that young children are
naturally fascinated by the world around them – that children
want to start learning so they can understand all the
strange sights and sounds they meet every day. The most effective
applications tap into this insatiable curiosity and direct it in
ways that will help kids develop important cognitive and physical
skills.
To realize this idea EMTC-Edu has drawn together a highly
talented group of artists and technicians. Each illustrator is
encouraged to be true to their own unique style, their only
directive is to craft beautiful scenes and interesting characters.
The graphics department focusses on adding animation and sounds
that accentuate the illustrators’ work. This combination
creates vibrant, original visuals unlike anything on the learning
app market. In the next few weeks, two games designed using this
approach will be available for download on Google Play and
iTunes.
Happy Dots
is the classic Connect-the-dots game re-imagined for mobile.
At the heart of the game is a selection of bright, lively images
and animations. Instead of joining the dots to create a single
image, in Happy Dots each image is one component of a larger scene.
The goal is to familiarize children with how objects and animals
fit into and interact with their environment, and begin to
introduce shape concepts, spatial learning and image and sound
recognition. Happy Dots is ideal for children aged 2+.
Zoo Time is a great way for kids to start finding out
about the animal kingdom. There are a variety of islands to choose
from and each one is jam-packed with cute critters. You just tap
the images to hear the animals make their natural sounds. In terms
of skills
Zoo Time focusses on visual perception, attention and
cognitive and sensory development. Unusually for the learning
market,
Zoo Time is targeted towards very young children aged
1+.
EMTC Edu is built on a rock-solid foundation as a subsidiary of
a leading Czech marketing company EMTC - Czech a.s.. With nine
years of growth and success in the Czech Republic they’re the
perfect parent company for a talented team of developers, graphic
designers, sound technicians, and illustrators. For more
