WowWee cooperates with Sesame Street to launch Elmoji robot
I don't know if you look at the cartoon "Sesame Street", which is an educational cartoon for children. Those who watched it and had an impression when they were young should still remember the group of small dolls (big birds, cookie monsters, etc.) living in Sesame Street, who taught arithmetic, painting, reading and other knowledge and skills to children in front of the television through funny short stories and small columns.
The organization behind this cartoon is Sesame Workshop. This organization and WowWee launched the Elmoji coding robot based on Elmo (the optimistic 3-year-old male monster in "Sesame Street"). Elmoji is the combination of Elmo and emoji
As a world-famous intelligent toy R&D company, WowWee's products have been sold in 57 countries and regions around the world. WowWee has won the "Oppenheim Platinum Award for Toys", which is known as the "Oscar Award in the toy industry". WowWee has always been at the forefront of the world in terms of technology innovation and the concept of enlightenment, and has been recognized by both inside and outside the industry.
Elmoji, the highlight of this cooperation, aims to teach children basic programming skills using the emoji expression language based on vision, and enlighten children with programming through visual "language" emoji. Through it, preschool children gain programming skills and pride in solving problems. The combination of emoticons, numbers and music makes programming fun.
