“Photon” is a hi-tech robot aimed at teaching children programming through fun, the developers say.
According to the project's Kickstarter page, the robot is the first in the world "that develops together with your child”.
It was designed by a team of Polish coders, engineers and psychologists to meet the needs of children aged six to 12.
“Photon was created as a solution to a widespread problem with developing children’s logical-thinking ability. It is the answer to a lack of proper tools that could encourage children to learn new technologies and programming in an enjoyable and fun way,” the Kickstarter page says.
The Kickstarter campaign started on 31 May and the project has already attracted USD 30,000. It needs USD 35,000 to be launched, with 32 more days to go. (tf/rg)
