PithyPop

PithyPop is a learning companion based on the Pythagorean multiplication table that helps children master multiplication through play, making them learn almost without realizing it.

PhityPop was born from a very personal experience. My name is Diana Garcia, I am an Industrial Engineer and a mother of two children, and through them I experienced firsthand the difficulty and pressure that many kids face when it's time to learn the multiplication tables. As a mom, I wanted to find a way to help them learn without feeling that studying was an obligation or a source of stress.

During that journey, I discovered the Pythagorean multiplication table, and I was amazed by how children could understand multiplication visually. Little by little, they stopped memorizing answers and started recognizing the relationships between numbers. The best part was seeing them learn almost without realizing it.

That's when I had the idea of turning the multiplication table into a toy—an interactive Pop It where children can touch the table, play with it, and discover multiplication while having fun.

For almost three years, I have been developing this project in Unity. Along the way, I have also learned game development, 3D modeling, and artificial intelligence. In many ways, PhityPop has grown alongside OpenAI's tools, and ChatGPT has become a development companion that has helped me solve problems, explore new ideas, and continue building the project.
