What is Kojo?

Kojo is an open source learning environment that is available as a desktop-app for Linux, Windows, and Mac, and as a web-app that runs on any modern internet-browser.

Inside Kojo, youngsters (from ages 8 to 80!) – play, create, and learn!

• They play with Scala programs.
• They create drawings, animations, games, and Arduino based intelligent circuits (with appropriate additional hardware).
• And they learn :
  • Logical, Critical, and Creative thinking
  • Computer programming and Computing
  • Problem solving
  • Math and Physics
  • Game development
  • Electronics and Robotics
  • Artificial intelligence and data science
  • Emotional grit
  • Collaboration (via pair programming)
  • And a lot more...
• Very importantly, they also learn how to learn with understanding, given the opportunity to apply learned ideas to many different situations, and the exploration, discovery, and creation involved in this process.

All of this fosters in them a mindset of experimentation, innovation, self-reliance, growth, mental discipline, and teamwork – with Kojo as the enabler.
