Technology: Superheroes to teach coding in new online coaching platform
New online service to teach science
and math, using superheroes and digital comics
Soon children will be able to learn
computer programming, science and maths aided by comic books and superheroes.
Cinemics is an upcoming education-as-a-service platform that aims to teach
coding, and various science and maths concepts to children using fun,
entertaining videos, digital comics and superheroes.
Started
by two IT professionals, Kunal Singh and Anand Gopalakrishna, in association
with Shoonya Labs, Cinemics was recently launched on the crowd-funding
platform, Indiegogo.com with a goal togenerate $10,000. The project has two
months to raise the necessary funds to bring the project live.
Each
course on the platform will be equipped with a combination of comic books,
videos and assessment quizzes. The comic books will have pre-set breaks, during
which kids will be required to watch an informational video and pass an
assessment quiz post which they can access the next chapter of the comic book.
Points will be assigned on successful completion of assignments. Kids will be
able to use these points to build their own superheroes and unlock new powers.
Singh
says that Cinemics as an idea is at an initial stage, and they are working
towards giving it a shape. “We have forecasted a timeline of three-four months
from now to start the portal,” he adds.
