Robo Wunderkind is an award-winning robot that will change the way children learn about technology. It is designed for kids starting from 6 years old to provide the easiest way to learn coding and basics of robotics. Electronic components are safely embedded into blocks with a smart connection system. With Robo Wunderkind, children can start building and programming robots right away.
The Vienna-based hardware startup Robo Wunderkind develops modular programmable robots for young children: with Robo Wunderkind, kids can just snap the modules together in different configurations to build their robotics creations. Once the robot is built, it can be programmed in an app, which uses a graphical drag and drop style programming. No prior coding or even reading knowledge is necessary. Kids will easily create personalized virtual dashboards and control their creations to solve mazes, go on treasure hunts, play music, navigate around obstacles – the possibilities are endless.
Viktoriia Poliakova has a young entrepreneurial spirit and considers herself a lifelong learner that is passionate about all things tech. On today’s show we discuss the following aspects of Robo Wunderkind:
- The first robot that kids as young as 5 years old can build and program.
- Teaches children the basics of coding and robotics.
- Teaches creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills through play. Â
- Kids will grow up understanding the role of technology.
- 14 different types of building blocks and the commands in the app are categorized by color: the most intuitive way of learning for kids.
Essentially, their first product is an educational robot that syncs with intuitive mobile applications to help children understand the basics of programming. Robo Wunderkind was also part of the world’s first and largest hardware accelerator HAX in 2014 and Finalist of TechCrunch Disrupt SF Startup Battlefield in 2015.
