Smart Natives is a edtech start-up that creates innovation. We develop real software prototypes with different groups (kids/teens/women).
Current Status
we have tested the kits with about 320 kids and are negotiating a development partnership with an institution for teenagers with special needs. Mock ups have been developed and for a different product we have developed a chat bot which will be adapted to the needs of the app.
Problem or Opportunity
Our start up provides education, the product we are pitching gives access to robotics and coding.
In Germany but in many countries in Europe especially DACH region, Coding and Robotics is neglected and therefore less young people choose this kind of job perspective. Especially young girls find no toys or robotic kits that is gender sensitive. Therefore less girls feel encouraged to thrive in the Tech world.
Solution (product or service)
We are developing a robotic kit that is usedwith an AI-based app. It simplifies the entry to the Tech world for young children and provides quality screentime. It is story-based and can be used with an App but also with a little booklet if kits have no access to a device.
Business model
We aim to sell our products both to schools, directly to the customers from our webshop or amazon/ ebay; our app will be free to for download with some basic features to be used for any kid who wants to learn how to code and the story-based part of the robotic kit to be accessed with an QR code.
