Self-Awareness
Kids name Gr3gg's feelings by reading his face and body language. Mixed-Up models that not knowing is okay.
Resources for
Most tools teach kids what to think. The Mixed-Up Robot teaches how to think, through three unforgettable characters.
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-Management
Gr3gg processes emotions constructively rather than suppressing or avoiding them.
Social Awareness
Reading Gr3gg's face and body language teaches children to notice what others are feeling.
Relationship Skills
The call-and-response format makes the child a cooperative partner in every story.
Responsible Decision-Making
Fixed-Up models stopping to weigh new information instead of insisting he already knows.

Characters · Learning Outcomes
Each character carries a specific, defensible learning outcome, beyond just a personality.
Mixed-Up: Makes Learning from Mistakes Safe
Learning by Teaching · Growth Mindset
When Mixed-Up gets things wrong and celebrates the correction, children learn that errors are simply part of the process. Because the child does the correcting, every loop is learning by teaching: explaining the right answer to someone else is one of the strongest ways kids lock it in.
- Learning by teaching: the child explains the right answer
- 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 Wrong Gracefully
CASEL · Growth Mindset
Fixed-Up is sure he already knows. When a child gives him new information, he has to admit he was wrong and take it in, modeling the humility kids need to accept feedback from parents, teachers, and friends.
- Models accepting correction without shutting down
- Builds openness to new information
- Practices being wrong without losing confidence
- Supports CASEL self-management and relationship skills
Gr3gg: Teaches Kids to Read Emotions
CASEL · SEL Tier 1
Gr3gg can't put his feelings into words, so he shows them with his face and body. Children read those signals and name the emotion, building the skill of recognizing feelings in themselves and others.
- Expands emotional vocabulary
- Builds skill reading facial expressions and body language
- Normalizes emotional processing
- Directly addresses CASEL Tier 1 competencies
