Dragon Pathways

Animated modelling software for 7-11 years old

Dragon Pathways is an animated modelling environment designed for children from seven to eleven years old. It comes with a variety of engaging games and activities to explore, understand and modify.

Using a simple pictorial icon language (with integrated speech), learners can create and change the rules of animated characters within screen-based activities. With a rich set of animated characters and beautifully drawn backgrounds as starting points, the imagination of all learners is guaranteed to be stimulated.

Building on the established success of Magic Forest at KS1, Dragon Pathways extends the educational possibilities of this new genre of animated educational environment to KS2.
