# Code-Teaching Robots Robotiky the Educational Robot Teaches Kids How to Program By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotiky References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/03/robot-teaches-computer-programming-skills.html) & [robotiky](http://robotiky.com/) Robotiky is making a new skill invaluable to the younger generation. Programming is a specialty skill right now but it may not be that way for very long. With entrepreneurship and Internet capitalism taking over, it could be a very short amount of time before even small children can program. Robotiky is a robot that the user must learn to make move and work through the use of coding. Initially the robot starts off with very straightforward and simple instructions, but the instructions soon turn into more complex jargon like python and C++. The point of the project is to show the younger generation that what they do on the Internet in terms of coding can do very real things in real life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Programming Education:** Robotiky and similar products are revolutionizing the way young children learn to code, opening doors for future programming education opportunities. - **Youth Entrepreneurship:** Products like Robotiky may inspire and enable young entrepreneurs to develop innovative programming solutions in diverse industries. - **Internet of Things (iot):** As younger generations gain programming skills with products like Robotiky, they may have the ability to create smarter, more connected devices for the IoT industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education:** Robotiky has disruptive potential for the education industry by enabling teachers to introduce programming education to children at a young age with a fun and engaging approach. - **Entertainment:** Products like Robotiky and similar coding games could disrupt the entertainment industry by offering new educational approaches that teach programming while still providing an entertaining and engaging experience. - **Technology:** Robotiky could potentially disrupt the technology industry by fostering an early interest in programming and providing the opportunity for younger generations to develop innovative technologies and solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-Ages Mini Robot Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/educational-robot-kit.md) - [Educational Programmable Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robomaster-s1.md) - [Educational Coding Language Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artie-max.md) - [Playful Coding Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyxel.md) - [Preschool Coding Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codie-blocks.md) - [Programming Code-Powered Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerone-2.md) - [Programmable Robot Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-robots.md) - [Diminutive DIY Desktop Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-desktop-robot.md) - [Sustainable STEM Robot Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coderover-robot.md)
