BrainySprouts," an educational application for elementary school entrance exam preparation and preschoolers developed and operated by Brain Bloom, LLC (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), and "Kototanken," an educational application for preschoolers, have added new characters.

Background on character additions

We have been supported by many users for our intuitive operability and step-by-step curriculum design, and now we are pleased to announce the implementation of a new character in the application to further enhance the learning experience.

The most important factor in continuing learning is the children's motivation to keep going! The most important thing to keep children learning is their motivation to keep going. The familiar characters on the screen make them excited to see what kind of support they will get next time they tackle a problem, creating a natural cycle of learning enjoyment. This naturally creates a cycle of enjoyment in learning. The characters' encouragement and praise also nurture a sense of self-affirmation, such as "I'll give it a try," and "I made it to the end! and "I could finish it!" through encouragement and praise by the characters. We hope that the students will be able to tackle even the units they tend to have difficulty with with a positive attitude of "Let's work hard together with the characters!
