Montessori education is a method of education developed by Italian physician Maria Montessori. The style of teaching supports directed learning, hands on play, and collaborative play. There is a new Kickstarter that I would like to bring to my readers attention called Kidx Classbox. Kidx Classbox combines the latest technology combined with the best aspects of Montessori Learning founded by Jim and Dhonam. This interactive educational toy bridges physical play with online interactive learning and it needs your support on Kickstater today.

I started to think about what it means to learn quite a bit by my senior year of high school especially when taking the SATs. I did very well on the reading, writing, and essays portion of the test. I didn’t do as well on the math section. If you simply doubled the English based portion of the test I’d be considered a genius 😉 but if you add the math section to the SAT score society tells me I should feel not as happy about the results. Still good, but not as good as it could be. Students have a certain level of freedom with Montessori learning. They have a choice of activity from within a prescribed range of options. That’s why I see such value in self directed learning, focusing on strengths and interests. “Einstein excelled at math and physics from an early age, but tended to do less well at other subjects (Quora.com).” It would of been nice to have a choice with what I felt like learning that day in the classroom when I was younger.

Explanation

Kidx Classbox is AI Powered Montessori Learning for ages 3 to 8. It’s a tablet based interactive educational toy that bridges physical play with online interactive learning. Inspired by Montessori and brain sciences. “The toy was inspired by a Montessori dad who was frustrated with the screen only approach to early childhood education over the COVID-19 pandemic.” The tablet is then paired with the real world in the form of physical toys. The combination of these two elements will accelerate your child’s learning process. To use KidX Classbox, download the app then interact with the real videos on screen by placing objects on the pad. “Montessori Rods allow children to learn through concrete touch, common sense and logic rather than through abstract route memorization.” The system not only allows learning through the Montessori method, but also allows STEAM, Cognitive, and Logic approaches to learning.

Funding Goal

The Kidx Classbox funding goal is $5,000 they have already raised $6,527 of that amount. That’s $1,527 over their funding goal already! As you can see there is a lot of demand for this type of Montessori and brain science approach to education.

Rewards

There are several reward levels to this Kickstarter Campaign.  The $3 level is just letting the inventors know you love their product and support what they are doing. Pledge at the $10 level and you will get a early prototype of the digital download. Pledge at the $59 level and get 15% off the retail price. You will enjoy the full experience with the hardware pad, Montessori rods and digital download of the app. The support level goes all the way up to $4,999 or Business Partnership Level. This level gets you the ability to turn your own lessons into interactive videos and offline play. You provide the videos and Kidx will work with you to create a custom experience. Do this for up to 10 lessons with 5 interactive scenes that will work on the custom Classbox App. The plan also included 5 Kickstater Kits.

Conclusion

Hiring a tutor is expensive so I think learning systems like the AI Powered Montessori Learning Kidx Classbox System is so important to empowering parents economically. Combining the best aspects of online learning with offline play will allow children to learn anytime, anywhere, and most importantly avoid burnout that I think everyone experienced this pandemic with Zoom Education. So parents, homeschoolers, teachers, innovators or anyone else please consider supporting Kidx on Kickstarter today!
