Thingy Flip Eye Hand Coordination educational program
In the past we have only been able to toss and catch using our palms. For the first time in history using a Thingy Flip we can now toss and catch on all sides 5 sides of each hand. This brings about brand new movements and eye hand coordination our brains have never had to do.
The Thingy Flip is designed to give anyone an eye hand coordination workout second to none. Beating any ball sport, including table tennis that was recognised as the leader in fast eye hand coordination. A table tennis racket has 2 sides that hit the ball.
The thingy Flip uses 5 sides of your fist and is used on both hands giving the user 10 surfaces to toss and catch from.
- To reward students with a Eye Hand Coordination Licence giving them recognition and self-confidence. In the school environment it becomes a race to get all the licences.
- To be able to grade students eye hand coordination
- For BOX BALL (Hand Ball) to be as popular as Hand ball at lunch time.
- Kids are currently missing out on all the backyard ball time we had 30 years ago due to device time taking the time slot. The Thingy flip is the device that can gain back those skills lost. And bring back the 1990 IQ Heyday’s.
- To give teachers a Licencing system for Eye Hand Coordination enabling them to assess kids and give them a reporting system.
- To give students 20% higher grades across the curriculum.

The Thingy Flip Eye Hand Coordination Program for Schools
The Problems we solve:
70% of Kids are leaving all sports by age 13. With devices taking up so much after school time up to 2 -3 hours per day. Kids are missing out on important backyard ball time that in the past created new neuro pathways enabling us to be switched on at school.
The effects of this include:
School results have been down since the 1990s
World wide IQs have been dropping since the 1980s
We are working with the change in our society to bring back high eye hand coordination and the follow on benefits.
Aim of the program
For students to gain the highest eye hand coordination in the shortest time possible no matter the age using the unique high intensity Thingy Flip Licenced to catch program.
Sideline Benefits of high eye hand coordination include:
New Neuro Pathways for gaining
1. 20% better focus in all areas of education
2. 20% better concentration in all areas of education
3. 20% better listening in all areas of education
4. 20% better understanding in all areas of education
5. 20% better communication in all areas of education
6. 20% better mental health
7. 20% better reaction times in all areas of education
8. 20% better sporting skills
9. 20% social skills for gaining more friends and happiness
10. FUN
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
BASIC
By using the unique Thingy Flip Licence system and rewards certificate program we are providing a program that gives students great pride and accomplishment and teachers an eye hand coordination grading system.
We do in 2 ways
1. When a teacher witnesses a student achieve a licence grade Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, or Black they can reward the student on the spot with a licence provided with a Thingy Flip cube.
2. Assembly Certificate Presentation in front of the whole school. We provide a certificate template you can insert the students name and print for presentation.
Implementation of the Thingy Flip Licenced to Catch Program.
All students need to be introduced to the program using the Training Vidos provided by Thing Flip. Time 10 minutes
Ongoing Training videos are also available on our Youtube channel.
