With their commitment to making learning fun with game-based pedagogy, paired with the creative and individual spirits of the Oddbods gang, we’re confident this partnership will deliver a hugely positive learning experience for SplashLearn’s extensive user base.”
Arpit Jain, CEO, SplashLearn, said: “This is the start of an exciting partnership with One Animation’s Oddbods. We have similar philosophies, and that is to provide children with a fun and holistic learning experience which goes beyond just academics. Along with core learning, it is also imperative that children develop social-emotional skills and celebrate differences. Having Oddbods books, with their characters and learnings integrated into the SplashLearn program takes us closer to our goal of cultivating a growth mindset and enabling every child to learn, fearlessly.”
