Description
Children aged 4-8 years old spend an average of 10 hours sleeping, 8 hours a day in learning, 3 hours in entertainment and only 2 hours in physical activity. We are combining learning, entertainment & physical activity into AR education mini games to help children grow smarter, stronger and more mindful. SuperKidz is the world’s first Move-to-Earn and Learn-to-Earn NFT game which makes it fun and rewarding for kids to learn, get active and become more mindful. Built on (TBD) Solana/Avalanche/Ethereum, SuperKidz integrates your kid’s daily activity in real life with blockchain Play-to-Earn economics so you can turn your kid’s real-life actions into expansive gameplay and earn crypto while doing it. We started our research 2 years ago when iPhone 11 demonstrated realtime body tracing and 3D avatar rendering in real time. We developed our proof of concept in Unity 2019 and noticed several challenges in terms of user experience and performance. We tested our prototype at home with our kids and found that VR was too dangerous for kids because they kept bumping into things. Any external hardware was also a challenge because parents weren't willing to buy or setup. We found that the TV in the living room provided the best user experience. It was very intuitive for kids to mirror their smartphone or tablet to the TV however everything was inverted. We solved this problem by developing a "mirrored" AR game environment in Unity 2020. We spend 3 more months launching our demo app on the app store. After alpha users feedback and several iterations, our MVP is available on the app store at below link. https://apps.apple.com/hk/app/superkidz-education-mini-games/id1613737876?l=en We learnt from children that they learn better when they play with others. We are designing 8000 baby ape 3D ERC721A NFT avatars to keep kids company in the metaverse. Children will access the games with baby ape avatar. Kids avatars will help them learn by mimicking kids' physical movement in the metaverse to solve maths and english puzzles. Parents who buy these BabyApes can get lifetime membership of the game for their kids. SuperKidz mixed / augmented reality mini education games accessible via 3D baby ape character NFT that becomes a kid's avatar in the game or kids can play in the free mode and accumulate enough SuperPowers to evolve the BabyApes and then these SuperPowers are minted as NFT accessories. We are the first mass market NFT game targeting kids aged 4-8 years old. We want to educate kids how to navigate through Web3 and incentivise them for learning, exercising and enhancing their emotional intelligence while having fun. Kids avatars would gain different superpowers by solving puzzles. Kids then could trade these superpowers to teach other kids. Baby apes can also earn the SUPA coins with their superpowers and use these coins to buy accessories like hats, bags, sunglasses etc and can trade them with other kids. SuperKidz combines the nurture and evolution of Tamagotchi, the crafting and collecting of Animal Crossing, the training and battling of Pokemon Go, while rewarding players with crypto as they go through our carefully curated positive content. Besides, there is no additional equipment to be purchased. Players just need a mobile phone, and better if they have newer phones and a smart TV.

I agree with Tobik. Decentraland is not targeted for minors and anyone who has played would see that content and characters are not minor intended, weed, guns, skimpy clothing. Also several countries had laws regarding tracking data of minors. Idea seems like it's doable as a standalone app/program.
* I don't see how this could improve Decentraland (in fact, Decentraland is not even mentioned once). * Decentraland is not focused on minors and is intended for children +13 [as their TOS suggests](https://decentraland.org/terms/). * Too much money xD Regards, Tobik.
