Startup Spotlight: IOT Kids

IoT Kids is an educational program aimed at teaching children how to use technology in a responsible and safe manner. The program offers courses in coding, robotics, electronics, and 3D modeling. The idea for IoT Kids was developed in response to the increasing importance of technology in our daily lives and the need to educate young people on how to use it in a productive and responsible way.

The motivation behind IoT Kids is to equip young people with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The goal of the business is to provide a comprehensive education in technology and its various applications and to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
