The mini games are designed to teach kids concepts like sequences and conditions without fully introducing them to the scripting aspect.

Lightbot is one way that kids are now being introduced to the concept of code as it will become more useful in the future.

Petting Zoo

Petting Zoo is an interactive picture book designed to teach kids about animals. It uses the touch screen mechanics of smart devices as a form of interactivity. Kids can swipe and touch the screen to interact with the animal on screen and depending on where the animal is, it will react in different ways. Works such as this are using technology to interact with kids to teach them basic knowledge that used to be learnt through books. This is just another way of reaching out to the current generation.
