Nanoboy turned IMM upside down

Over 300 lucky kids and families met their local Superhero Nanoboy and his brainy sidekick from the Nanosquad, Issac Neuron at the Meet and Greet sessions held at IMM mall the 27 – 28th of June!















Everyone enjoyed their day out at IMM playing games & quizzes, won limited edition Nanoboy premiums and watched exclusive trailers and sneaks from The new adventures of Nanoboy!

Many Nanoboy fans went home very pleased with Nanoboy premiums up for grabs from T-shirts, calendars, stickers, DVDs, bookmarks and vouchers.












The highlight of the event on both days was Nanoboy and Issac’s appearance. Both Superheros had a great time joining in the fun and games with their fans and friends. What’s more, fans had a chance to take pictures with Nanoboy and Issac Neuron.

KooGeeks Invasion!

Something NEW has hit our KooBits House!


What could it be? That Eugene, the renowned laid-back, boring, dull web developer, would be so interested in de-gluing himself from the computer screen and skipping to the marketing room?!

*DRUMROLLS*

Introducing THE KOOGEEKS!
Hohoho! Coming all the way from Norway, Martin and Malin (if you cannot differentiate between the Caucasians and Asians, you might want to go to to the opthalmologist for color blindness check!) are our latest imports into the Cranky KooBits House! Check out our nerdy poses!




KooBits have been swarmed by many projects, deadlines and appointments. Work, work, work and more WORK! If you think school assignments are innumerable, try sitting in our workplace!
From the marketing team to the development team, we have been trying to meet deadlines for something BIG that is coming out!

WHOA! What could that be?

You will find out soon guys! Let's just sit back and enjoy the rest of the photos!


There is a myth that says KooBits has many pretty ladies. After looking at the above pictures, do you think it is still a myth?!

Apart from the Norwegians, the marketing team has also welcomed two very beautiful and intelligent ladies and they are Haida (second left) and Juli (second right). Yes, we are currently humongous and kids, if you have visited us before, it's time to visit again because there are so many new friends to befriend now!

The thorn among the roses

KooGeeks Day has been a fun and relaxing time for us to enjoy amidst the neverending tasks, all piled up on our desks. A great breather while dressing up!

We have played our part, now it's time for YOU to be GEEKY too!


Just send us a photo of you dressing up in a nerdy costume AND holding onto a piece of paper that says "I am a KooGeek!"


And email it to Adeline, adeline@koobits.com!

Lastly, let's give our votes to the best Black&Blond KooGeeks Pair!

Black&Blond Pair #1 - Martin & Evan

Black&Blond Pair #2 - Haida & Malin

Black&Blond Pair #3 - Malin & Adeline

Evan is begging you to vote for him! HAHA!

Never Too Small To Be A Hero

Mind you, kids! KooBits is never your conventional, boring educational software that sits in the shelves of your school's computer labs to collect dusts!

Apart from the awesome technology and features we have (Can I hear a loud cheer?!), we have brought in Singapore's very own superhero and his friends to join the Kool KooBits Club!


If you think Superman is powerful, think twice.

How is he powerful? Hmmm...

Nanoboy will the NEXT BIG THING because he is the world's smallest hero who can save our megahuge earth! Smallest would be an understatement because you practically cannot see our superhero with your naked eye!

Let's do a little bit research together with your calculator. Wikipedia states that nano refers to one billionth of a metre, which means it has a SI prefix of 10^-9. How tall are you? 1.4 metres? 1.5 metres? Taking your height to be 1.5 metres, punch in these numbers into your calculator now: 1.5 x 10 ^ -9.


Nanoboy, hence, refers to one billionth of a boy. He is equivalent to the size of any particles and bacteria around you, which means he would be the superhero to save you and your family from swine flu, bird flu and any other bugs in the atmosphere. Together with his friends, they will combine forces to battle against all enemies!


Fights aside, Nanoboy is just another 9 year old boy just like you. He goes through countless of stressful examinations, probably constant nagging by his mother to do homework, jeerings from his fellow classmates for his miniscule height in reality and all the issues you are dealing with right now.


9 year old. Nano height. Superheroic mission. Nobody can do it except for Nanoboy!



Nanoboy is the brainchild of Scrawl Studios, a local animation studios started in 2002. With a strong team filled with artistic talents and creativity, Scrawl Studios has successfully emerged internationally, with fans from Korea, Australia, Canada and many more being their faithful animation supporters.

Very soon, Nanoboy will be featured on OKto TV for all of us but for now, you can enjoy these incredible content and animations from KooBits in your schools! Imagine how cool it will be when you get to know KooBits before all your other friends in other schools!

This is what happens when Nanoboy break into your school.
Evergreen Primary School has the privilege of receiving the tiny superhero into their warmth environment.

What are they all looking at?

NANOBOY in da house! He doesn't look very tiny at all. Oops!


Nanoboy: I love visiting schools and interacting with all the students! See you all soon!

All the students enjoyed the surprise visit very much because autograph sessions involved almost the entire school! Enthusiastic children then came out with their own adventures of KooBits. Here's a favorite book of mine by Moek Chayyly in Ahmad Ibrahim Primary School. (Just click on the links to view the books on our web portal right now!)
