OctoStudio transforms how children use mobile devices, enabling them to create their own stories and games anytime anywhere. Children can take photos and record sounds, bring them to life with coding blocks, and send their projects to friends and family.

Scheduled to launch in October 2023, OctoStudio is developed by Lifelong Kindergarten, the MIT Media Lab research group that created Scratch, the world’s most popular coding language for kids. OctoStudio is completely free of charge, without any ads or in-app purchases.

Paula has been a major part of the design team since a little before the beginning of the project. You can learn more about OctoStudio here.
