OctoStudio, a mobile coding app created by the Lifelong Kindergarten group, has been included on the "Notable Children's Digital Media" list from the American Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children.
Using the app, children can learn logic and develop programming skills by using block coding to create stories and games. Once it's downloaded, the app is able to function offline, which means that children with limited or no access to internet connectivity can enjoy it. OctoStudio is available in over 20 languages and is compatible with screen readers.
The Notable Children’s Digital Media list recognizes real-time, dynamic, and interactive media content for children 14 years of age and younger that enables and encourages active engagement and social interaction while informing, educating, and entertaining in exemplary ways.
