Angry Birds maker Rovio unveils more details of its fun learning education initiative

Angry Birds mobile game maker Rovio has unveiled details of its Fun Learning education initiative, aimed at remaking education for kids three to six years old.

Rovio has teamed up with fashion designer Ivana Helsinki to create fun outfits for a program dubbed Angry Birds Playground. These outfits are akin to a new kind of school uniform — the kind that encourage fun learning. That’s just one piece of an ambitious project to remake learning as a fun activity.
