“Mobilmo”, a New App to Empower Children to Experience the Craft of Making Things by Toyota and teamLab

Toyota Motor Corporation has launched Mobilmo^TM  which is a mobile app that empowers children to exercise creativity through the craft of making things world-wide. 

This mobile app is in partnerships with Toyota and teamLab to enable children to experience infinite joy from engaging in the following three key elements:

i) “Move” (moving things),

ii) “Build” (freely creating things), and

iii) “More” (making more friends).

These key elements are the basis for the name “Mobilmo”. This app will allow children from all over the world to connect with their dreams and help them find joy in the craft of future manufacturing.

Our Parenting World, junior team member, KW at 6 years old was invited up to do a demonstration for the media and invited guests during the media briefing at the “Mobilmo” launch by Toyota Motor Corporation.

KW and representatives from “Mobilmo” had an interesting interactive session with the audience on his opinion on the game and KW had also demonstrated to the audience how he played the game. 

When asked how did he find the game?

KW found the game very easy to pick up and he enjoyed playing with it!
