Keeping the pre-k set edutained...

Fun education and
entertainment apps for kids.

Or is it funducated?

Kidster is a suite of apps designed primarily for 3 to 6 year olds. Kids can have adventures learning English, unleash their creativity with interactive coloring books and keep entertained with fun and educational videos localized for their language, country and market. Each app was developed cross-platform for iOS and Android.

The primary challenges were creating user interfaces that could be easily navigated by pre-readers and designing environments and activities that would engage and delight kids yet still be seen as having real educational value by parents. The business requirements specified that the apps follow a subscription model. When dealing with Apple especially, this sets a very high bar for achieving approval since these apps are not traditional subscription types (periodicals, life-style apps, business services, etc) and are marketed to children. In order to successfully navigate the approval process, I worked directly with Apple's app store team.

My role

Creative Director, developing app and game concepts with the product development team, establishing user flows for apps, games and subscription processes, leading the talented designers and illustrators at Acotel Interactive in New York and Rio de Janeiro as well as the app development team in New York and a top-notch outsource research and dev team in Poland.

“Kidster English is the first in our exciting line of headstart apps for the Pre-K set. Now parents will have powerful learning tools for their little one’s early education as they explore the worlds of language, art, math and more through hours of engaging lessons, games and activities.”

- Cristian Carnevale, CEO Acotel Interactive
