Creative Robotix
Introducing the Creative Robotix Platform
Robots are forecast by many people to be the next major market for technology, following the smart phone. For anyone interested in learning more about this technology and acquiring practical hands-on knowledge we have created a family of versatile robot building platforms that form an educational environment which can be customised in numerous ways ranging from designing the robot’s skin (i.e. giving the robot the appearance you want) through to designing your own software or hardware (giving the robot the functionality you want).
The Creative Robotix platforms are a fully customizable, with body parts that can be 3D printed, and constructed for less than £30 (UK pounds sterling).
Creative-Robotix can be used by entrepreneurs, teachers, parents, children, adults, in groups or as individuals to address core STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths) learning and making activities in a fun, hands-on, social and interactive way. Our open-source platform can be used by anyone from 7 years up who are interested in learning more about technology and building product prototypes. The tasks are carefully designed to fit the abilities of all ages, ranging from simple to more complex assembly, depending on your age, knowledge and guidance available.
We wish you “Happy Imagining, Happy Creating & Happy Building !”
