DoyobiReviews of doyobi.com

Creative, inspiring, real-world-relevant and learner-oriented programming led and delivered by a passionate team. Both my child and I felt well-supported, that our feedback was valued, and that we were part of a meaningful community.

Doyobi delivers a true learning experience. Children are introduced to topics such as climate change, artificial intelligence and human augmentation drawn from real world contexts, and encouraged to understand the opportunities and concerns that belie these areas of global interest. I love how the Doyobi platform and content is carefully designed to interest and engage a global classroom, and connect kids from diverse backgrounds and abilities to think, understand, learn and create through group discussions and individual reflection. The facilitators are friendly, knowledgeable and yet firm in guiding the learning process so that it is meaningful and productive. My 11 year-old and 7 year-old are ready and eager to be at Doyobi every week. I never have to remind or hurry them to log on. Doyobi is never boring. It truly offers experiential learning that has to be experienced to be understood.

My 8yo has been with Doyobi for about two months at the time of this review. What attracted me to Doyobi was the promise that my child would find her voice, recognise why it is important to speak up and appreciate why her own opinion matters. Two months in and while she is still a quiet child, she gets really excited and passionate during the student-led discussions in class. The facilitators do a great job of ensuring it's a safe and supportive environment - they nudge discussions in a calm and firm manner and remind all participants to be respectful. They also ensure quieter kids have room to speak. The role-playing aspect of it is really great - my 8yo feels a sense of responsibility to the people she represents; and she knows if she doesn't speak up, their interests and opinions won't be heard. It's a realistic representation of how it works in the real world, without pressure or nagging from an adult to speak up. I think this is the first class of its kind where I've seen kids excited to turn up early to learn and discuss the clues from the last session to crack the mystery. Highly recommended for any child who isn't confident about having his or her own opinion, or is shy about speaking with others. Notes: Not recommended if your child cannot use the mouse independently, move with arrow keys or do simple things like click links.
