# Artful Coding Robots Artie 3000 Showcases a Fusion of Programming and Design at CES 2019 By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-01-08 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artie-3000 References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/educational-insights-unveils-new-coding-robot-artie-3000-and-a-partnership-with-american-mensa-at-ces-2019-300774589.html) & [educationalinsights](https://www.educationalinsights.com/text/EI/142/content/campaigns/2018_Artie/) At CES 2019, Artie 3000 has been unveiled by Educational Insights as a coding robot that engages kids through art. While there are many [coding toys for kids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-robots) that encourage problem-solving and empower kids as the creators of their own video game worlds, this new coding toy is centered around art and design. The [educational coding robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codeventure) was created to be approachable, as kids can create simple or complex drawings based on their desired outputs. Rather than physically putting pen to paper themselves, kids are able to [drag and drop code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-education-computer-science-ai) into a digital device and then watch Artie 3000 execute their specified commands. Artie 3000 is compatible with a range of devices, including computers, laptops, tablets and various mobile devices and requires no Internet connection for play. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Artful Coding:** The trend of incorporating art and design into coding toys for kids presents an opportunity for creative and interdisciplinary learning. - **Educational Robotics:** The rise of educational robots like Artie 3000 merges programming with hands-on activities, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. - **Screen-free Coding:** The trend of coding toys that don't require an internet connection, like Artie 3000, provides a tactile and screen-free learning experience for kids. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education:** The education industry can leverage artful coding toys to create innovative curriculum that combines STEM and the arts. - **Toy:** The toy industry can tap into the demand for educational and art-focused coding toys, offering new products that spark creativity and skill development. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore the development of more screen-free coding devices, providing alternative ways for kids to learn programming skills. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [App-Powered Programmable Cobots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ari-by-ozobot.md) - [Preschool Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codie-blocks.md) - [Playful Coding Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyxel.md) - [Unplugged Coding Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluxs-vinu.md) - [Coding Education Car Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-coding-car.md) - [Children Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coding-critters-magicoders.md) - [Reprogrammable Robot Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quarky.md) - [Art-Focused STEAM Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-in-a-can.md) - [Artistic AI Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketcher-x.md)
