One of the first prototypes fell of a table during testing with a group of kids, breaking part of the head. Fortunately, the kids and their teacher were able to fix it using a Band-Aid. |
Nearly 1000 kids have interacted with EMYS during tests and demos at schools. |
Tests showed that EMYS can teach kids approximately 30 new words per month. |
EMYS relies on a language teaching method called TPR (Total Physical Response), with kids using whole-body actions to improve learning. |
