Teacher and children reading together with a friendly robot character.

Resources for

Parents & Educators

Most educational tools teach kids what to think. The Mixed-Up Robot teaches how to think, through three characters who make that process impossible to ignore.

SEL Framework Alignment

The Mixed-Up Robot is designed to address all five of CASEL's core social-emotional competencies through character-driven storytelling and interactive play.

Self-Awareness

Gr3gg names feelings in real time. Mixed-Up models that not knowing is okay.

Self-Management

Gr3gg processes emotions constructively rather than suppressing or avoiding them.

Social Awareness

Fixed-Up corrects with empathy. Gr3gg gives children words for what others might feel.

Relationship Skills

The call-and-response format makes the child a cooperative partner in every story.

Responsible Decision-Making

Fixed-Up models evidence-based reasoning: every answer comes with a reason behind it.

CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) is the leading research organization defining standards for SEL in PreK–12 education. Learn more at casel.org →

Characters · Learning Outcomes

Each character carries a specific, defensible learning outcome, beyond just a personality.

Mixed-Up: Makes Learning from Mistakes Safe

MTSS / Tier 1 · Growth Mindset

When Mixed-Up gets things wrong and celebrates the correction, children learn that errors are simply part of the process.

  • Reduces fear of being wrong in class
  • Builds curiosity over compliance
  • Models intellectual humility
  • Supports Tier 1 MTSS academic mindset goals

Fixed-Up: Teaches How to Be Right, With Evidence

CCSS ELA · Next Gen Science Standards

Every Fixed-Up correction comes with a reason, modeling the claim → evidence → reasoning framework embedded in Common Core and NGSS.

  • Builds argument & evidence skills
  • Models fact-checking behavior
  • Develops logical reasoning
  • Supports ELA argumentative writing standards

Gr3gg: Names Emotions Before Kids Have the Words

CASEL · SEL Tier 1

Gr3gg processes and expresses emotions in real time, giving children a vocabulary and model for their own emotional experiences.

  • Expands emotional vocabulary
  • Normalizes emotional processing
  • Supports classroom self-regulation
  • Directly addresses CASEL Tier 1 competencies
