Knowla Box – interactive learning through play

Knowla Box it's smart to play and learn

Primary school-aged children are squatting on the floor around a projection from the Knowla-Box.

Children learn best when they don’t even realise they’re learning. When learning feels like play. The Knowla Box is designed precisely for this purpose. It turns learning into educational entertainment – which is exactly why it’s so motivating and effective.

“Only in play does man become wholly human.”
Friedrich Schiller

The educational principle

Some call it edutainment, others gamification. We call it: Learning in action, engaging all the senses.
The principle isn’t new. We’re all familiar with it: we learn particularly well and effectively when our curiosity is piqued. When we feel motivated to take on a challenge – voluntarily, out of passion, because it’s fun. And when we’re allowed to engage different senses.
The Knowla Box makes the most of this: it applies game mechanics to learning situations. This challenges and motivates children as they learn.

The educational core

As well as the hardware, the focus is on the Knowla Planets. These are learning packs developed by experts for different subjects and skill levels. Each of the 17 planets – such as Planet Hopsa shown here – contains up to 250 educational games. They can be used both in the classroom and in after-school care.

The planets cover the following areas:

language and communication,
mathematics,
natural sciences and
creativity.

Depending on the educational game, they promote not only subject-specific skills but also, in a targeted manner, the skills of the future, as well as physical activity, fine motor skills and relaxation.

Each planet can be used independently of the others.

FAQs

No. It only takes a few minutes to set up, and the interface is intuitive.

Yes. Thanks to the high-quality laser projector, the image remains bright and high-contrast.

Learning packs – known as ‘planets’ – are available at an additional cost on top of the basic set. Licences for these are purchased as a one-off. The Fruu and Edumini planets are already included. The Knowla Wall floor mat can also be ordered separately. It is particularly well suited for projecting and interacting with the game content.

The Knowla Box, comprising a total of twelve learning packs, was developed for primary schools. It can also be used in inclusive education settings.

As educational software and a digital learning resource, the Knowla Box is generally eligible for funding under the Digital Pact 2.0, subject to the specific regulations of each federal state. If you would like advice regarding your federal state, please feel free to contact us.
