Summary
Currently, Europe is lagging behind the US and China in programming and robotics education as well as producing graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Robo Wunderkind is Austrian company seeking to revolutionise the way children learn about new technologies and to help them enter the world of robotics and coding, as well as to develop STEM skills, creativity and problem-solving – skills that are increasingly essential.
We brought the first generation of our award-winning robotics kit to market in late 2017, following three years of development and a successful crowdfunding campaign. Today, Robo Wunderkind, as well as the curriculum we have developed, is already used in thousands of homes and more than 500 schools around the world.
Now, we are seeking to take our product offering to the next level with the support of the Horizon 2020 program. Based on our existing technology, we will develop a product of the next generation: a robotics education platform that will offer users AI-based personalised learning and content sharing functionality.
1) We are going to launch a new application that will use artificial intelligence (AI) to evaluate children’s’ learning progress, and provide recommendations and feedback;
2) We are adding a content sharing platform where users – children as well as educators and parents – will be able to share projects and other content;
3) By adding new Internet of Things (IoT) functionality, we are expanding our target group up to the age of sixteen years;
4) By bringing down the price of our entry-level robotics kit to €79, we are making it more broadly accessible to schools, educational institutions and economically disadvantaged families.
5) By developing content for children with special needs, we will cater to this niche market.
These steps will allow us to establish Robo Wunderkind as a market leader in STEM education, not only in Europe but also in other key global markets.
