Ananas
Ananas enables kids around the world to meet, teach and experience each other's language and culture
Ananas is an educational platform that enables children from around the world to communicate, teach and experience each other’s language and culture. The app cultivates communication and friendships between real kids, creating a new kind of experience, unavailable in today’s immense variety of children's apps. The platform enables a chat-like environment, prompting kids to speak to each other in their respective languages through flash cards and icons. Ananas aims to encourage tolerance and empathy by facilitating basic communication skills for kids everywhere.
