What Educators think about Clixo

Dr. Jessica Meizi, The Giant Room

“This fits in perfectly with our STEAM programming. It incorporates creative thinking, science and technology and experimentation. It’s a super powerful tool because it’s open-ended and you get to define how you use it. I love it”

Michele Rabinowitz, STEAM educator

“After they get to play with it a bit, they realize they can create three-dimensional shapes. Clixo helps with critical thinking, problem-solving, and working collaboratively as a group.

Eric S., EaAndy Yung, Pre-K Teacher, Queens, New Yorkrly Learning Center

The pack’s potential as a learning tool, particularly for language development, is significant. The introduction of each unique Clixo piece provides an opportunity to expand vocabulary in a playful and context-specific manner.

Educational Benefits
