Keeping attention spans is challenging for adults and children alike. The digital age introduces all sorts of devices for delivering and consuming information. When Dr. Pauldy Otermans, a neuroscientist, observed that the children of many of her friends appeared tethered to either digital tablets or mobile phones, she was inspired to create Teddy AI.

Teddy AI is a digital study buddy designed to assist parents and teachers in the early education, development, and upskilling of children ages four to seven. Teddy AI is an extension of Dr. Oterman's work in pioneering the world's first digital human teacher for refugee learners.
