Sesame Street

Sesame Street, broadcast in more than 140 countries, is well known as the one of the premier providers of kids educational programming. Sesame Street was built around a single, breakthrough insight: if you can hold the attention of children, you can educate them. With the digital age transforming viewing habits of young children, Sesame Street developed specific applications for Apple and Android. To reach other mobile platforms, Sesame Street needed a reliable partner whose exceptional user experience design and porting capabilities could bring the application “alive.” To reach different markets, they also need a partner who could offer multi-lingual localization for six languages, ensuring quality from both an engineering and a QA perspective.

Symbio provided a comprehensive turnkey solution incorporating design, implementation and market testing for both the Windows Marketplace and the Nokia Store. Porting three of the most successful kids’ education games from Apple and Android and extending the games to the global, multi-lingual market presented multiple challenges. Now kids from different countries who do not have access to Apple or Android platforms can connect Bert, Ernie, Grover and Elmo in a highly engaging digital atmosphere that teaches them how to count numbers and recognize objects.
