From a family gap
to a place to create.
A 56-second Discovery Desk preview.
Ten illustrated children accompany the computer literacy finding. A waving astronaut appears during the family story. Pip and Zella introduce Writer and Art Studio, where a story is typed and a rocket is drawn. Number Studio turns numbers into a chart. A rover drives toward its dock beneath the Code-a-Rover game. Sample parent screens show activity, time and online access controls. The Discovery Desk characters close the film with the website address. The statistic comes from the ICILS 2023 assessment of U.S. eighth graders and describes scores below Level 2 in computer and information literacy. U.S. participation fell below study requirements. The study did not test Discovery Desk.
Did you know? In a twenty twenty-three study of U.S. middle schoolers, about half scored below a basic computer literacy benchmark.
We saw a gap with our own kids. We wanted them to create, not just consume, but couldn't find the right fit for our family. So we're building Discovery Desk.
It's computer software built for kids to create, explore, and practice real computer skills. Write a story. Make art.
They can turn a table of numbers into a chart. They can even explore the basics of coding. Build a program and watch their rover go.
You choose the activities, time limits, and online access that work for your family. They choose what to work on, make, and play within that space.
