The erniee roadmap.

We will build in defined stages. Each funded programme will name what it delivers, how it will be tested and how the finished product will be maintained.

The roadmap by quarter

We plan in quarters. Exact dates follow once each programme is funded and scheduled.

Planned

WorldHop 2.0.

The next big version of WorldHop, shaped by what children and families tell us. These are the features we are designing towards. Each one will be tested with children before it is promised.

  • An explorable globe

    Pan and zoom a WorldHop globe to places we have chosen and checked, with no open web, adverts or live street imagery.

  • Seasonal expeditions

    Adventures for a season, such as winter in the Arctic or the monsoon, that give children a reason to come back.

  • Story missions with the hosts

    Adventures told as stories, like helping Nori rescue the reef, rather than lists of facts.

  • First words

    Hello, goodbye, thank you and counting in the language of each country a child discovers.

  • Go deeper

    Landmarks, World Heritage sites and currencies for children who want to know more.

  • Read-aloud for younger explorers

    Narration so children who are still learning to read can explore on their own.

  • A quiz after exploring

    A short, low-pressure check after a tour, never a test with a score to lose.

  • Passport stickers and covers

    Ways for children to make their passport their own.

Learning you can hold.

Some of the best learning happens away from the screen. We want every erniee app to come with things children can write on, colour in, stick up and share.

  • Spellify activity sheets built from a child’s own spelling list.
  • The WorldHop discovery wall map: colour in each country as it is found.
  • A physical learning pack, tested with families and schools before it is offered.

Real-life materials cost money to design, print and send. If they matter to you, tell us when you register.

Back real-life materials

Ideas we may explore.

WorldHop Animals, Cities and Countries, drawing and colouring experiences, line learning for young performers, and tools around time, habits and emotions are all possible directions. They are not funded commitments.

Before an idea enters a campaign, erniee will define the need, intended audience, learning purpose, delivery scope, evidence plan and ongoing cost.
