Worldwide 50%-80% of children lack preschool education. In low-income countries, 10-12 kids share one textbook while digital device ownership is about 50%. This presents an opportunity for digital learning tools. Further, developed country kids spend up to 3 hours daily on low-quality apps (75%). CatnClever's mission is to provide access to quality early education to all children around the world.
Our solution provides a high-quality gamified learning experience. We achieve this by working with experts in early childhood education, digital learning, game design, and storytelling. By applying AI techniques to our learning platform, CatnClever gives each user a personalized learning journey by identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and adjusting the exercises accordingly. The lessons motivate and encourage children’s engagement in various ways to address different learning styles: using game mechanics, incorporating movement exercises, socio-emotional prompts, and real-world issues to appeal to a range of children’s interests and aptitudes. Additionally, CatnClever supports the social integration of displaced children and helps them learn the languages of their new host countries.
We are committed to SDGs 3,4,5 & 10, and offer our app for free to families in need.
