ConveGenius has announced the retail launch of CG Slate on Lenovo for Grades K-5. CG Slate is an NCERT curriculum-mapped, self-learning tablet, especially designed for Indian kids in order to make learning fun and informative. Through strategic partnerships Lenovo will provide the hardware for the tablet while e-commerce giant, Flipkart, will be the online marketplace through which CG Slate will be available in India. The tablet is being priced at INR 8,499
The solution was earlier accessible only to ConveGenius’ B2B clients, which include State Governments, large NGOs and learning centers in India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The product centres around gaming approach to learning. Children feels like they are a part of a game, while they learn important concepts through videos, interactive books, stories and worksheets, and then gets rewarded based on his/her performance. The product creates an environment that motivates the child to enjoy the process of learning, while helping them stay focused.
CG Slate has a unique Learn-Play-Shop approach to learning, which provides kids with incentives to self-learn without adult supervision. As children learn, they get points, which are redeemable and can be used to watch cartoons, play games and then to add their favourite toys to their wishlist, which their parents can buy for them later with cash backs linked to performance. Also, the parents, through a root password, can use the slate as a standard Lenovo tablet.
“CG Slate is an affordable and comprehensive mobile learning solution, which uses the immense potential of gamification to personalise learning for kids, and supplements regular curricula taught in school with NCERT-mapped content. We are positive that CG Slate’s interactive lessons, games, videos and movies will enrich the overall learning experience of the young generation, and would be a real aid for parents.” said Mr. Jairaj Bhattacharya, MD, ConveGenius Groupon at the CG Slate launch
