HOBBYVERSE
Age group: 8 years upwards

This app enables children to organise and track their creative interests by allowing them to log activities such as reading books, playing board games, learning music, etc. It builds a personalised digital library of hobbies wherein users create lists and monitor their progress. As children record their activities, the app awards experience points, medals, and achievements, adding a game-like layer through avatars and level-ups. Hobbyverse also encourages social interaction by enabling children to interact online with friends and compare progress.
