Focusing on younger children, the idea is to offer a variety of content that engages children's playfulness and helps them with their activities. There it will be possible to learn English, biology and interact with friends through avatars. Inside the platform Artificial intelligence will accompany children throughout their journey, indicating activities and monitoring user behavior. There will be resources to filter swear words and report inappropriate behavior.

The metaverse was created by a committee of 150 people, including pedagogues, parents and developers. This is to understand children’s demands and ensure their integrity on the internet. Parents will also have access to the metaverse when the platform launches.
