@ryanga Hey Ryan! Thanks for stopping by; that's a very valid question. Here's how I'd think about it: Many products exist to teach coding and computational thinking to kids, but Mochi is unique in our approach as a content-first product. At its core, Mochi is a tech-enabled learning library. Unlike Cubetto which is focused more specifically on coding as a functional skill, we're proud of creating a broader holistic experience, introducing diverse subject-matter (biology, time, animals, colors, good habits, etc.) as a core part of the learning process. We let the quality of our curriculum and Story Library lead the user experience. More fundamentally, 99.9% of the world’s knowledge is still locked in books; much of this knowledge is not accessible to early childhood learners who are pre-literacy. With Mochi, our goal is to unlock this vast library of knowledge that children can explore using hands-on code - the most universal 21st-century language. Mochi unlocks this knowledge through: 1. Audio (our coding blocks include a read-aloud function) 2. Real-time interactive feedback (such as songs, sound, and out-loud narrations) 3. Observable movement and motor feedback (while programming the robot with the coding board) Finally, I'd emphasize Mochi's powerful interactive learning loop occurs through story-based play and storytelling - humanity's oldest pastime. As a result, more than half of our team is dedicated to product development, curriculum/content, and creative UX. The investment in a high-quality, story-based learning experience that caters to our most human need for stories is how we tackle the challenge of teaching computational thinking to such a young, budding, and capable age group. Thanks for the great question, and for letting us nerd out on our product! 🤓

@juanpablosarmi Hey Juan! You're spot on! Our story library follows a custom learning sequence, building from simple concepts (action/causality, basic movement commands, pattern recognition, repetition) to more advanced computational thinking (functions, loops, recursion, algorithm design, automation, simulation, etc.) We teach these concepts through coding challenges that become incrementally more difficult as you progress through the Mochi Story Library. Currently, there are 12 total books in the library, with plans for special editions in the future (Mochi holidays, Mochi's first day of school, Mochi seasons, etc.) You can see our KS campaign at 👉bit.ly/Mochi-Xmas19 Thanks for checking us out on PH!
