TypeTastic is coming from Finland, the land of world-class education and booming gaming industry, like Angry Birds and Clash Royale. We’re connecting these two spheres with TypeTastic, a game-based keyboarding product in the US. TypeTastic was released in March 2017, and it's recorded over 4,000,000 users since then. Based on teachers' feedback and requests, we released TypeTastic School Edition in August 2018. It includes a suite of teacher tools and inspiring K-12 keyboarding curriculum for all grade levels.

What’s going on:
-Preparing for the Post-Covid Sales in the USA. Recruitment underway as we're looking for growing our US sales team.
-Still seeing growth in Finland: 65% of Elementary and Middle Schools have a license for our Finnish typing service (NäppisTaituri).
-Teachers and kids in the USA love TypeTastic - and the press too:

”The game-based approach to learning the keyboard, including the colorful, user-friendly graphics and interface, makes this program a great choice for teachers and homeschool instructors. Add to that the fact that it’s also browser-based and ad-free, and you have a winning combination.” (Overall rating from T&L review, issue 2/2018.
