Our Story
Kai’s Education, established through the collaboration of Autonomous Works Ltd and 3D Printing Systems Limited, has been nurturing an interest in coding in children with their educational products and resources in classrooms since 2011.
Our first robot, Kai’s Clan (7 – 15yrs) was created as an all-in-one STEAM toolbox for teachers that allows them to teach coding and be creative in the design of robot avatars and storytelling. Kai’s Clan brings kids from around the world together and allows them to solve challenges in exciting new ways.
We envisioned a platform where the physical and the virtual worlds merge to become an interactive learning playground, with the goal to nurture an interest for coding in children. Students code their robots to navigate the mat in real-time, wherever they are in the world. Through designing their own robot avatars and environments a fusion of the real world and virtual world come to life. Kai’s Clan breaks the traditional geographical barriers to bring kids from around the world together and allow them to solve challenges in exciting new ways.
Throughout product research and development phases, Bruce is always asking and listen to teachers; learning, adapting, and improving.
As such Kai’s Education identified the need to reach beginners in coding (5yr+) and at the same time introduce a maturing teacher demographic, with a fear of adopting new technology, to an introduction to coding. A simple single robot, like KaiBot in Kainundrum does both.
Using New Zealand schools as a testing pad to validate new products, Kai’s Education’s key international markets include the USA, Italy, and Australia with relationships developing in the UK, UAE, and Canada.
In 2019 Kai’s Education received the USA, Common Sense Top Pick for Learning Award at ISTE, and won the District Administration Award for Top Edtech Product in the USA for 2022 alongside Lego Spike.
What a huge accomplishment for a company that has only been in the market four years, with two of those during a pandemic.
