Leadership skills for a quiet kid My 8yo has been with Doyobi for about two months at the time of this review. What attracted me to Doyobi was the promise that my child would find her voice, recognise why it is important to speak up and appreciate why her own opinion matters. Two months in and while she is still a quiet child, she gets really excited and passionate during the student-led discussions in class. The facilitators do a great job of ensuring it's a safe and supportive environment - they nudge discussions in a calm and firm manner and remind all participants to be respectful. They also ensure quieter kids have room to speak. The role-playing aspect of it is really great - my 8yo feels a sense of responsibility to the people she represents; and she knows if she doesn't speak up, their interests and opinions won't be heard. It's a realistic representation of how it works in the real world, without pressure or nagging from an adult to speak up. I think this is the first class of its kind where I've seen kids excited to turn up early to learn and discuss the clues from the last session to crack the mystery. Highly recommended for any child who isn't confident about having his or her own opinion, or is shy about speaking with others. Notes: Not recommended if your child cannot use the mouse independently, move with arrow keys or do simple things like click links.

Doyobi creates relevant topics for… Doyobi creates relevant topics for kids to discuss, among themselves. Current events are good to keep the kids in the loop of what’s going on in the world and how to give power of communication to young minds to brainstorm and solve problems. This, ultimately open doors for young minds, to be more involved and responsible about the issues around them. While school focuses on getting kids to pass examination.

Different and very important! Doyobi is a very different kind of learning. The kids are engaged in fun tasks, like fighting zombies who invade their city or negotiating with a dragon for the ingredients to make a potion to save the world. And while saving the world, kids are guided to learn and use skills like critical thinking, negotiation, problem solving, creativity, financial literacy, digital safety etc... All super important skills for the world today and in the future. I love that my kids are learning all these skills, not in a sterile classroom environment and not feeling like they are in a lesson or being taught. I was rather impressed when I overheard the kids having all these "worldly" discussions abt refugees or debating the tourist dollar vs. conservation. It is really an engaging, well-thought through and well-delivered product. Highly recommend!

Doyobi: Guiding Kids to Think, Understand, Learn and Create Doyobi delivers a true learning experience. Children are introduced to topics such as climate change, artificial intelligence and human augmentation drawn from real world contexts, and encouraged to understand the opportunities and concerns that belie these areas of global interest. I love how the Doyobi platform and content is carefully designed to interest and engage a global classroom, and connect kids from diverse backgrounds and abilities to think, understand, learn and create through group discussions and individual reflection. The facilitators are friendly, knowledgeable and yet firm in guiding the learning process so that it is meaningful and productive. My 11 year-old and 7 year-old are ready and eager to be at Doyobi every week. I never have to remind or hurry them to log on. Doyobi is never boring. It truly offers experiential learning that has to be experienced to be understood.
