There has been well-documented learning loss experienced in recent years as families and educators face unprecedented challenges and test scores in reading and math are in decline. Parents have expressed struggles in reigniting their children’s passion for learning, while educators grapple with the complexities of bridging diverse learning gaps. To meet these challenges, Think Academy designed its Thinkpal learning tablet for a tailored, AI-powered solution that redefines learning support. It does this through step-by-step guidance and real-time support in math, reading, and writing, making learning more intuitive and enjoyable for all.
Yujing Sun, General Manager of Think Academy explained that they “designed the Thinkpal Tablet to address the biggest challenges faced by students and families in education today. Our mission is to provide every child with a personalized, world-class tutor that inspires confidence and a lifelong love for learning.”
At the heart of the Thinkpal Tablet is “GeniusTutor,” an AI-powered system that transforms learning into an interactive and engaging experience. Built on the Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT-4o model, the system provides real-time guidance and feedback that helps students across a range of subjects.
Thinkpal helps students conquer complex math problems through logic-driven, step-by-step explanations. It also helps them master writing with interactive prompts and instant feedback that builds confidence and creativity. It also enhances vocabulary and reading skills with innovative tools like “Point-and-Discover,” where students can point to words in a physical book, and the tablet’s camera instantly provides explanations, along with guided reading exercises
Adding a touch of fun and companionship, “Thinkie,” an AI-powered learning companion, engages children through voice interactions. Powered by advanced ASR (automatic speech recognition) and TTS (text-to-speech) technology, Thinkie chats, answers questions, and fosters curiosity, making the learning process enjoyable and dynamic.
Thinkpal also offers an extensive library of educational content and gamified coursework that is compatible with applications such as Google Classroom. The 11-inch TÜV Rheinland-certified eye-care screen safeguards children’s vision during extended use, while the optional keyboard transforms the tablet into a Chromebook-like device, enhancing productivity and usability.
Think Academy is a trailblazer in education technology and is the international subsidiary of NYSE-listed TAL Education Group. This affiliation with TAL has allowed Think Academy to leverage decades of cutting-edge educational experience, embodied in this innovative new product. The Thinkpal Tablet will be available for $249 ($339 including keyboard) at shop.thethinkacademy.com. Pre-orders open today.
