Short Summary

Full Description

A Polish enterprise engaged in the production of an educational robot is looking for distributors on foreign markets. The company has been operating on the Polish market since 2016, and has received numerous international awards for its product, which is an educational robot that teaches the youngest basics of programming and develops their imagination. The product can also be used in schools as a learning tool for computer skills, physics, ecology, etc.. The product, i.e. an educational robot is offered by a Polish company, operating since 2016 from the north-eastern part of the country. Initially created as a school project, the robot has been under constant development and has evolved into a well-received educational tool used by teachers and educators around the globe.

The robot is intended to be used during classes with children and teens – possible applications range from classes at the kindergarten level up to primary and secondary schools.
Photon Robot helps teachers during everyday school activities. It’s simple to operate thanks to its intuitive mobile and desktop apps. The robot sparks students’ innate curiosity and engages their emotions, keeping them absorbed during every lesson. What's more, robots can also facilitate the learning experience of students with Special Needs.
The robot is offered together with a mobile application and a range of analogue (traditional, non-digital) teaching aids. In conjunction with an educational mat, an additional application and with specially developed scenarios, teachers at school can perform education activities within the STEAM framework (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics).
Teachers receive a complete toolkit that will support both them and their students in programming classes.
The robot can move with an accuracy of 0.5 in and turn around its axis with an accuracy of 5 degrees, which makes it a great tool for introducing concepts of measuring angles and geometric figures. Furthermore, by using an attachable permanent marker grip, you can draw any geometrical figure. This creates many opportunities to carry out experiment-based activities on measuring or unit conversion.

When working with robot, students develop their programming skills by implementing in real life the programs they have created. That way, they grow better acquainted with the technology and have an opportunity to learn scripting languages used by professional programmers. Using the robot stimulates students to create problem simulations, develop the robot’s algorithms, and then test their assumptions in a physical setting.

The robot has received numerous awards and distinctions at the national and international level. In addition, the product has been certified by Education Alliance Finland receiving one of the highest scores among all evaluated educational solutions.

At the moment the robot is available on the markets of the Americas, Africa, Europe, Australia, Asia. However, the company is eager to cooperate with distributors on foreign markets who will conclude contracts with wholesale clients or institutions such as schools and scientific institutions. The company would like to extend its reach on new foreign markets, therefore it is looking for partners willing to enter into cooperation on the basis of distribution services agreement. Specifics regarding the cooperation will be negotiated and decided upon with the individual distributor.

To create products and solutions, company cooperated with actual teachers, active methodologists and experienced professionals. Reviewed and consulted their resources with external experts in Europe and USA. This approach allows them to spot any issues early and adapt these materials to the needs of teachers and children at different levels and age groups. Finally, they test their educational kits with educators and children in real life – in kindergartens and schools. The entire process is subject to strict quality control and EU norms.
