our vision
our vision
To make STEM education more accessible, playful, and engaging through smart physical tools that guide children as they learn by doing.
Our Design Approach
Our Design Approach
TangiXLearn is built on three core principles:
Embedding technology into physical tools to provide real-time, sensor-based feedback.
Using familiar materials and interactions like construction kits to lower the barrier to learning.
Offering scaffolded guidance that supports progression and fades as skills develop.
where it started
where it started
TangiXLearn began with classroom-based research and the development of two tangible learning systems:
TIEboard – for early geometry learning through lacing and color feedback.
TangiBuild – a sensor-based construction kit that teaches structural stability through guided building.
These tools have been tested with over 130 children in workshops and after-school programs, showing strong engagement and real learning outcomes.
