Alexandria, Virginia – Vito Technology, the award-winning developer behind the famous astronomy apps Star Walk and Solar Walk, today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Star Walk Kids 1.0.0, the latest educational app in company’s best-selling portfolio that has surpassed 10 million downloads to date. Designed for kids aged 4-8, Star Walk Kids introduces youngest audiences to the wonders of our Universe.
“When we first created Star Walk, we didn’t aim for such high goals as to educate, all we wanted was to make something impressive. Right now the situation is different. We still want to impress the user, but education became the fundamental part of the app, as well the company’s main direction.” – says Murad Nazaraliev, company’s CTO.
Star Walk Kids features hand-picked information to inspire children to learn about space. Browsing across the sky with live motion tracking, the young users can tap on any object they find to learn its name, size relative to the Sun, distance, and what it is known for. Selected objects are explained in short animated films voiced by professional actors. Users will learn what Polaris is, how to find it on the night sky, and how to determine cardinal directions on the spot, and much more.

* Short animated films explain the most important cosmic phenomena in simple terms
