The educational kit is experiencing some of an overhaul with the announcement of the Sony Global Education 'KOOV' Kit, which focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
The Sony Global Education 'KOOV' Kit consists of building blocks that can be positioned into a form that uses a micro controller for smart product performance. It enables young users to experience technology firsthand and begin what will likely be a lifetime full of technological integration.
The Sony Global Education 'KOOV' Kit is intended to teach creative skills ranging from robotics, to programming and give children the chance to DIY their own robot. As coding and technological prowess become essential skills for young users to have, we'll likely see more educational kits that focus on STEM moving forward.
