Mochi Computer
Your child’s first screenless computer. It takes commands, executes functions, and gives audio feedback. It can even sing songs and reads the books!
Mochi harnesses children's innate love for stories to introduce abstract programming concepts in a fun, low-barrier way.

Your child’s first screenless computer. It takes commands, executes functions, and gives audio feedback. It can even sing songs and reads the books!
Simple wooden blocks that specify what steps Mochi should execute and in what order. Looks simple but you can write more unique programs than there are stars in the universe.
Sometimes with Mochi Bear at the wheel or with your little ones’ unique creation. Rover flawlessly executes the commands given to it and can navigate the surface of Mars as well as your carpet.
A library of 12 educational books where Mochi Bear teaches important subjects for early childhood development and goes on coding adventures. Each book gives coding challenges at the end.
See all booksWith Mochi, our children can have healthy and safe play experiences while learning the basics of coding. In addition, screenless play protects our children’s eyes and sparks their imagination and creativity.
By using physical items, Mochi is able to show difficult and abstract ideas through simple steps you can touch and manipulate.

Mochi nurtures your child's inherent creativity. You can change and adapt Mochi's look for every adventure you embark on together.
In the kit you will find craft pieces made of wood materials that can be painted in your favorite colors;
You can also use colored paper to enhance the look of Mochi.
Mochi's Lego-compatible Rover is his preferred ride on all his adventures. Use craft and LEGO to make Rover into a rocket, a pirate ship or a Batmobile! Warning: Creativity will increase exponentially!
Because you want your child to lead the change, not follow it!
We created Mochi to represent the best of technology today — hands-on, immersive, interactive — so children can learn without addictive screens.
Technology is a critical part of our lives, yet most of us only consume it. Learning computational thinking is powerful, because it means you get to create it.
Through creative, collaborative play and Montessori-style learning, Mochi gives your child the skills to be successful in tomorrow's world.
Made with all-natural and wood-based materials. Quality craftsmanship for an experience your children will remember for the rest of their lives.
Using songs, sounds, dance, music and words, Mochi will navigate your child
through endless adventures as they explore the world.
Study after study has shown that screens are extremely addicting and lead to developmental abnormalities if given to young children too early. Yet we all have screens in our pockets. Often, it’s too easy to give our children a screen to occupy their boundless energy and time. We created Mochi to be a screen-free, multimodal learning experience to rival the screen. This way, our children can have healthy and safe play experiences while learning the basics of coding in the process. In addition, screenless play protects our children’s eyes. It is safe, immersive, and hands-on.

We already know that bits and bytes will be the defining building blocks of the 21st century. We also know that children love stories.

Could stories be a form of creative play?
Mochi harnesses children's innate love for stories to introduce abstract programming concepts in a fun, low-barrier way. With hands-on blocks. With real-world, real-time outcomes. Without screens.
From tactile programming blocks to auditory narration, visual feedback to functional play, everything about Mochi is designed to let curiosity lead the way. Even our coding challenges are integrated with the adventures -- so that little learners start to see technology as a functional tool to enhance what they already know and love, rather than programming for programming's sake. Along the way, our tiny tinkerers build confidence in their ability to co-create real-world stories and events.
This healthy, hands-on introduction to technology is what we believe our youngest children need to succeed in our rapidly changing, globalizing world.
Instead of feeding our kids junk food for their growing minds (like Angry Birds and silly TV programs), why not give our children a smart, healthy, and screenless option for play?
We made Mochi today so our kids can succeed in the future.
