KOOV Robotics Kit From Sony: Coding and Constructing (Summer 2016)

Sony Unveils KOOV Robotics Kit for Education

J.C. Torres | March 8, 2016

Never before has robotics taken a more mainstream role in the world, from Amazon's busy workers to drones to self-driving cars. Thanks to advancements not only in technology but also in the science of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the promise, and to some the threat, of robots are near fulfillment. Suffice it to say, robotics will be a one of the main topics in science and technology education in the years to come. Which is why Sony is announcing KOOV, an educational kit for robotics and programming for primary schools.
It's not really that hard to see how robotics can inspire curiosity in science and technology subjects in young ones. 

Sony may have gotten out of the personal computer business, but they’re redoubling their efforts in education. This summer, they’ll launch a new Mindstorms-style STEM learning toy, called Koov.
