The company recently introduced its coding education kit “Designer Kit Set” designed for homeschooling in the North American market. LUXROBO also aims to target the global education market with its “hello AI” and “Smart AI” artificial intelligence training kits.

MODI: LUXROBO’s Modular Coding Education Kit

LUXROBO developed MODI as an industry-recognized modular coding education kit for creating and connecting do-it-yourself robotics. The hardware platform consists of 21 input, output and setup modules, each with a specific function and software coding tools.

Jointly developed with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), Seoul National University of Education (SNUE), and the Association of Teachers for Computing (ATC), LUXROBO created the MODI curriculum to comprise of 92 hours Expert kit and 20 hours for Smart AI.

MODI allows learners and users to acquire key concepts in coding and computer science in an exciting and engaging way. The modular education kit provides challenges for users to develop their critical and computational thinking skills through hands-on project-based activities.

In combination with a STEAM curriculum, 3D printing, and LEGO, MODI allows users to recognize each module’s function intuitively. Additionally, MODI’s unexposed circuit board provides the benefit of familiarity and safety, making it suitable for children.
