The Codomo team is made up of pioneer students from the Singapore University of Technology and Design, where problem-solving via design thinking was a central component of their studies.
Their first Kickstarter was a game called Potato Pirates. Potato Pirates is a coding card game that is designed to get children to learn 10 hours of programming concepts in just 30 minutes without computers. Codomo has also designed a curriculum that integrates with Scratch, making coding less intimidating, more engaging, and lots of fun.
And 2 years and 3 Design Awards later, codomo is back with another Game: Potato Pirates: Enter the Spudnet. This game is inspired by how the Internet works and is the most exciting way to learn about the fundamentals of network & cybersecurity – all without a computer.
