MarcoPolo Ocean is an interactive and educational application designed for children to explore and learn about the ocean. With six build-and-play activities, children can create their own coral reef, interact with marine animals, and navigate a boat or submersible through the ocean waters. This "digital sandbox" sparks children's interest in the ocean, one of the most unexplored parts of our planet.
The application features playful narration and animation to reinforce vocabulary, physical attributes, and concepts related to the ocean. Children can freely explore the open ocean, from the shoreline to the sea floor, and add over 30 different species of marine animals to their personal aquarium. By tapping, dragging, and swiping, children can observe the natural behaviors and interactions of these animals in their habitats.
Through self-directed discovery, MarcoPolo Ocean exposes children to early skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). They can learn about the wide variety of animal species that live in the ocean, the ocean landscape, and the construction and characteristics of boats and submersibles. The application also focuses on vocabulary acquisition, introducing children to topic-specific words related to the ocean.
Privacy is taken very seriously in this application. No personal information is collected or shared, and there is no third-party advertising. The full privacy policy can be viewed on the MarcoPolo website. The company behind the application, MarcoPolo Learning, is dedicated to creating educational and engaging content for children. Their mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning and exploration in children through their digital products.
