The Allen Adventure vs Pyonkee

Blast off on an exciting adventure with Allen – the new kid in class… who also happens to be an alien from another planet! Allen’s eager to make friends, join in games and learn all about Earth kids, but finding your place in a new school isn’t always easy. In this interactive story, children help Allen navigate the ups and downs of making friends, joining in, and understanding how others feel. Along the way, they’ll pick up important social and emotional skills like recognising unkind behaviour, sharing and building positive relationships. Packed with fun activities, sing-alongs, and opportunities to explore, The Allen Adventure turns learning about kindness, resilience and feelings into an exciting mission. Designed for children aged 3 to 8 years, The Allen Adventure empowers young learners by promoting kindness, resilience, and pro-social behaviours. It’s a great tool to prepare kids for kindergarten and early school years, while also helping to prevent bullying and foster empathy. Perfect for little learners – and aliens of all ages! Allen's Adventure is best enjoyed in landscape view — please ensure your device is set to landscape for the best experience! Developed collaboratively by all Australian education authorities, The Allen Adventure supports safe and inclusive learning environments.

Tired of consuming? Let's enjoy creating! Based on Scratch, Pyonkee provides a real, programming environment, anytime, anywhere! Pyonkee is a new dynamic media for developing various ideas. By combining visual blocks, kids/adults are able to create original games, animations, and stories on their own. Through the programming process, we will learn about logics, productivity, creativity, and collaborations. Pyonkee has been developed from the open-source code of "Scratch 1.4" from MIT Media Lab. Since Pyonkee is fully compatible with Scratch 1.4, millions of existing Scratch projects can be used for reference. Pyonkee's user interface is optimized for touch devices. We do not need cumbersome typing, even a mouse. Just write programs wherever you like. Pyonkee nicely supports pinch-in/out, and font scaling for small devices. Moreover, sound recorder and camera are provided for importing your sounds and pictures into the projects. We can mix various media on Pyonkee and program them. Moreover, you can share your projects via AirDrop, e-mail, iCloud, and other cloud storage services. From the version 2.1, you are able to create programs using various iPad sensors and Mesh network protocol. From the version 2.3, more than 100 instruments are available in sound block. You can even play other synth app's sounds by enabling Virtual MIDI. From the version 2.20, Pyonkee is able to connect to micro:bit. You can get values from various sensors and send analog/digital signals to the pins. By combining the micro:bit with Pyonkee, you can enjoy an even wider world of programming. Dive into the fun of visual programming!
