Here you can think of adding obstacles to the grid pattern – pits, moving elevators, lava, etc. with just a pencil. Once the fantasy level is complete you snap a pic using your iPad or iPhone and voila the art is transformed into an app using optical recognition technology.

hopscotch: coding for kids

Hopscotch is an app built by those who want to create things that they themselves wished existed when they were kids.

Materializing the imagination of children isn’t just for your little ones, but we find adults even want to re-live their childhood by sending drawings they saved while growing up as well. Kids make so much artwork filling fridges, living rooms, and workspaces, but with the rise of 3D printing, these pieces can be turned into real-life objects – Crayon Creatures does just that.
