In order to better reflect the company’s vision and sound less “nerdy,” Play-i announced today that it is changing its name to Wonder Workshop. The startup’s code-teaching robots will also get new identities. Bo and Yana will now go by Dash and Dot, respectively. The robots are designed to help kids between the ages of 5 and 12 learn how to code. To date, Wonder Workshop has sold more than 25,000 robots and is now sold out for the holiday season. Customers can continue to order the robots from the company’s new website, but they won’t ship till early January. To see Dash and Dot in action, check out the demo from our Code conference here.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
