Stop-motion animation creation by pupils in a classroom is an engaging way for learners to demonstrate their learning. Try it with Stikbot Studio!

What does it do?

The Stikbot Studio app allows you to create stop motion videos on your phone or tablet using your favorite Stikbot, Klikbot, or action figure. It’s a fun and functional app that everyone can enjoy.

Why is it useful?

Whether that’s showing the steps in the processes involved in a numerical calculation (from something as simple as showing the story of 5 for young learners, or how to do long division to more complex mathematical equations); or to illustrate a short text (whether poem or story); or to illustrate a phenomenon in science or an experiment (such as showing the water cycle or life cycle of a butterfly). Learners spending time breaking down what they are learning into stop-motion animation frames gives time for reflection and to help both deepen understanding as they work with others, conversing and collaborating to seek to show the essence of their learning in moving images.
