Experiment and Discover:
Weather controls allow you to change atmospheric conditions such as temperature, wind speed, precipitation, cloud coverage and so much more. Every choice and combination creates a new weather experience!

•Control 9 different weather conditions: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, thunderstorm, snow, blizzard, tornado, and hurricane.
•Choose from 4 different wind speeds – make a pinwheel spin or even fly a kite!
•Adjust the temperature – see the environment change as you go from hot to cold in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
•Play with 3 mini-games and 55 interactive elements. You can plant flowers and make them bloom, melt an igloo, or have a snowball fight!
•Interact with 3 wacky characters that respond to the weather choices you make: you can dress them in light clothes when it’s hot, give them hot drinks in the cold, or hand them umbrellas when they’re wet.
•Add flowers, birds, a snowman or a picnic basket to the scene and see how the different weather types affect them.
•Acquire new vocabulary and build an understanding of weather through age-appropriate narration.

Through self-directed discovery, we expose children to early skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), focusing on the following concepts:

•Determine how weather affects the natural landscape
•Learn about the water cycle and how clouds are formed

This is the ideas behind GoMArcoPolo’s learning apps:

We believe in a simple idea – Exploration sparks curiosity. Curiosity inspires learning.

We spark curiosity through products that:
Celebrate the wonder of the natural world
Focus on thoughtful content
Share knowledge through the magic of discovery
Develop learning through “doing”
Teach the importance of caring for others and the world
