“Tech toys such as HUE Animation Studio provide an engaging way for children to develop a range of multi-sensory skills. Not only are they learning about the technical side of stop motion animation, but they are also able to explore their creative interests through storytelling or scriptwriting, scenery production, artistic direction, lighting and sound,” says Dr. Amanda Gummer, a child development expert. “This versatile product can help children create compelling school projects … or have fun with friends making movies with each person taking on a role that suits their abilities and preferences.”
For these reasons and more, HUE Animation Studio recently earned a Cool Tool Award (finalist) for “Best Arts, Music, or Creative Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2022 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
