Project Details


WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Champion

Mark Robots


Description

MARK is a Uruguayan enterprise dedicated to the design and manufacture of technological kits for educational purposes. MARK seeks to bring the STEM education model (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) to the classrooms of Uruguay. MARK is an educational robotics kit that allows children and young people to make robots in a simple and fun way. The Uruguayan kit follows the logic of the Lego games and pieces: The student receives a set of loose pieces and can put together whatever comes to mind, without putting any limits on his imagination; different challenges can be posed and ways to solve them and then the child decides which robot to assemble and how to program it.
