Porsche4Kids for virtual learning

MANILA: The lives of most children have changed dramatically during the past few weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools and daycare centers have closed. Working parents are juggling childcare and working from home which pose major challenges and new opportunities.

Porsche now provided families a welcome source of entertainment and, more importantly, learning during these strange times through the Porsche4Kids, a free website for children.

Porsche4Kids produces exclusive online play opportunities with high levels of learning. Children will not just be amused with the website content, but can also practice their focus and learn through playing. Children who want to spend their free time offline can download a range of coloring images and print them out.

Aside from coloring images, young boys and girls can enjoy project designs with instructions, search-and-find photos, puzzles, memory games, and “find the word” games, among others. Porsche mascots Tina Turbo and Tom Targa in both German and English support the children while they are exploring, experiencing, and playing.

Children can choose from a wide range of play-and-learn activities on the www.porsche4kids.com website. Whether these are Formula E racing cars or Porsche tractors, games, or comics like the category game "Town, City, Porsche," models are accessible for all kids to download anytime.

Anyone who is above 12 years old can also enjoy taking online quizzes. Children will gain more knowledge about electromobility via exploration tours. They can learn, for instance, if electricity flows only from a socket, how an electric motor operates, as well as where and how electrical energy is stored.

In the “Socialize” tab, children can engage in a virtual e-mobility tour of the Porsche museum. According to the head of heritage and the Porsche Museum, Achim Stejskal, the learning programs of the site can only be experienced during the exhibition. Nevertheless, the new website now enables the auto company to make it accessible to everyone online.

The head of brand partnership and sponsoring of Porsche Oliver Eidam also said that they want to provide children access to present and future mobility and to timely topics that promote social awareness like safety and sustainability in road traffic. The auto company wants to encourage children to have fun, laugh, explore, and discover through the website.

Porsche4Kids also provides children a readily accessible and more convenient way to discover the history of the automobile company. Through the Kids Driving School magazine, parents can practice proper behavior during road traffic with their children. Tina Turbo and Tom Targa take a humorous approach in explaining the appropriate bicycle gear, the most relevant road signs, and the laws of travel. 

Porsche4Kids suits well with the motto and hashtag #DreamsAreMadeAtHome. Through this hashtag, Porsche has begun a strong global brand awareness campaign on social media. Users are encouraged to share their mobility dreams through the site. This can be a striking image of a Porsche model downloaded on the Porsche4Kids website, a model vehicle, or their car in the driveway.
