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

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.
