In 2018, Sony launched the KOOV Educator Kit as a tool for educators and it is now following up with the KOOV Trial Kit for kids ages eight and up. According to Sony, the new kit is "an abbreviated take on the KOOV Educator Kit" and it offers an introduction to coding, robotics and design.
The kit is designed to support two learners and comes with colorful blocks, accessories, motors, sensors and LEDs to offer a tactile way for kids to sharpen their STEM skills in different areas. As well as appealing to teachers and librarians, the kit has the potential to appeal to parents who are hoping to introduce their kids to programming logic, how components work, designing structure and more through various Quick Lessons and "pre-designed robot recipes."
