Improving Children's IQ with Iran-Made Psychological Computer Games
“Our company has designed and produced a game application for five to seven-year-old children whose purpose is to develop their skills and abilities,” Fatemeh Shah Rajabi, the founder of the start-up, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event and exhibition in Karaj.
“In this home-made program, games are designed based on the needs of children and their interests,” she added.
“These games are designed in a way that they, directly and indirectly, strengthen children's intelligence. In designing these psychological games, the enhancement of Gardner's nine (distinct) intelligences has been considered,” Shah Rajabi said.
“Our goal is to build a psychological games studio and play a positive role in creating a healthier society with the support of the Iranian authorities,” she stressed.
The fourth edition of the national Asr-e Omid (age of hope) event in the specialized field of artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) was held at Islamic Azad University’s Karaj branch near Tehran on October 14-17.
In a relevant development earlier this year, a team of Iranian researchers found that a cute little robot named QT may help children with learning disabilities (LD) stay focused.
Students with learning disabilities (LD) struggle with specific skills like reading, writing, or math, and often require individualized and additional support to fill educational gaps.
A cute little robot may help children with learning disabilities stay focused, a team of Iranian researchers and foreign experts have found.
QT robot is an expressive little humanoid designed as a tool for therapists and educators. It uses facial expressions, gestures, and games to teach children with autism spectrum disorder about communication, emotions, and social skills.
QT robot was born in 2016. The robot is the brainchild of two Iranian scientists named Pouyan Ziyafti and Aida Nazari Khorram. QT was the first robot created specifically as a tool to help children with LD or Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This robot can pose with its head and arms, show facial expressions and speak.
