Epopia, epistolary adventures for children in primary school
To support children in their discovery of reading and writing in a fun way, and to encourage the first stories to be read independently, the start-up Epopia offers a system of adventures to be experienced by mail.
Aimed at children aged 5 to 10, this personalized letter-writing role-playing game allows them to be the heroes of the story, and to see that each of their decisions is taken into account.
In the first letter, the child receives an envelope with small gifts as well as letters from several characters in the story, who present the fictitious mission to be carried out. It is then up to the child to answer them and make their own choices to receive new personalized letters. On average, three mailings are made to finalize a story, with each of the envelopes, four letters to discover.
Three epics are offered:
- “My kingdom” which takes place in a chivalrous universe,
- “My nature reserve”, in an eco-responsible approach,
- and “My dinosaur mission” where the child is transported to the past to discover prehistoric animals.
Finally, to adapt to the child’s level, three reading levels are offered according to age. A great initiative that brings a taste for reading and writing and stimulates the imagination.

Team8, the watch that invites you to exercise all day long.
Team8 is a watch that encourages children to be physically active during the day and to abandon TV, mobile and tablet screens.
Children are invited to choose a superhero and customize it: costume, color, name, etc. Then, the watch offers four built-in games, based on memory, strategy or speed, which the child can play if he has accumulated enough energy. Energy that is obtained, of course, by moving and exercising throughout the day. Children can also invite their friends to work out to play together, by bluetooth connection to the various games, and thus form a team.
Other functions are offered, such as the medication alert which can be useful in the event of recurrent treatment. There is also the geolocation function, to always know where the child is located, and to be warned in the event of a problem using an alert button located on the watch.
The child can also receive text messages from his parents and respond to them with pre-recorded responses.
Finally, the watch can be synchronized with the mobile application present on the parents’ smartphone, and thus download, for example, new games which will soon be available.

Hello Meyko, the connected companion for children with asthma
Meyko is a connected little blue companion who will help children with asthma to take their long-term treatment more easily.
Indeed, the little blue man, both playful and interactive, changes mood and color during the day depending on whether the child has taken his medicine or not. If he is sad, then this is the time to think about it so that he can become happy again.
It is the parents who program the medication intake, using a dedicated mobile application.
Aimed at children from 3 years old, this innovation therefore invites children, at the same time as they take care of Meyko, to take care of themselves and to consider taking medication from a less restrictive perspective.

Parlapapi, to share news with your grandparents

Each month, parents and children can send one to twenty-five photos to grandparents in the form of postcards, which are accompanied by a note. The opportunity to give regular news and share key moments in family life such as a birth, a birthday or a vacation, if the distance prevents them from being there.
Photos can be sent quickly and easily by messenger, email or whatsApp, along with a note. Then the grandparents receive the photos once a month in a pretty red envelope.
An initiative that therefore adapts to the preferred means of communication of each generation, and makes it possible to erase both the distance between the different members of the family and the isolation for the grandparents. All that remains is to invite aunts and uncles to do the same, for grandparents happy to see their grandchildren grow up regularly!
