CUSTOM LICENCES AVAILABLE ON THIS PRODUCT. PLEASE ADD TO QUOTE WITH YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
The new STEAM edition of KID PIX enters a world where art and science reunite and critical thinking meets creative making.
Young artists can now transform their digital stories and adventures into interactive digital art, science and math projects with the help of STEAM activities tailored to suit the needs of your ingenious young innovators.
New button actions enable students to design interactive quizzes or create a learning game. Using a variety of animated costumes and their own recorded videos, students can star in their documentaries or talk to an animated character who shares the screen.
Features
NEW! Interactivity
New button actions enable students to design interactive quizzes
NEW! Voiceovers for slide shows
Record a full narration for your entire slide show, or give voices to the characters in your animated story.
Path Gestures
Rotating and resizing stickers, animations, movies and text while moving along a path is as simple as pinching and dragging, making it easy for characters to hop, jump and fly around the screen.
Create Stickers
Students can use the new Sticker Maker tool to create their own stickers out of anything they see or draw on the screen. Stickers are not automatically flattened to the background so they can be resized, rotated, flipped and assigned a path.
Collaborative Video Narration
Two students using the iPad’s built-in dual-view camera can create a video narration for their story, and add animated costume frames that let them not only tell their stories on screen, but appear as characters in them as well.
Interactive Tappable Objects
No longer bound to a linear model, students can create interactive characters that tell their story when tapped, sing a song, play a musical note, make an odd noise, or just fly off the screen.
Layer Tools
Students will learn simple layering concepts (move to front, sent to back, etc.) with the new Layer Tools in the Grab Tools area. Combined with the 3D characters and 3D backgrounds, they can now begin to explore the relationship of scale and perspective.
Presentation Creator
Slide shows and stop-action flipbook movies can be assembled on the same screen as the paint canvas with the new Slide Tube, including setting transitions, slide duration, music tracks and how tot advance to the next slide.

Track Your Progress. Chart Your Success!
Mavis Beacon tracks your progress step by step and points out the keys you need to concentrate on. And when you pass a major typing milestone you can print out a certificate from the Mavis Beacon Institute.
Twice as many classic novels
We've added the full text of even more classic novels to keep you engrossed as you type — from Around the World in Eighty Days to Moby Dick. Bookmarks are placed automatically as you pause or stop the lesson, so you can always find your place right away.
Song Lyrics Practice
Practice typing the lyrics from your favorite music while you listen to the same songs in your iTunes® playlists!
Dvorak Keyboard
We think August Dvorak would be mighty pleased that the keyboard he introduced in 1936 would be used by the world's fastest typists. Now you can try out the Dvorak keyboard too - as an option to the traditional QWERTY keyboard in this new edition.

Now you can easily set up automatic reminders in iCal to make sure you get in the practice time you need - up to three times a day!
