The AI-native coding and robotics board for South African classrooms, designed in Cape Town. Scroll, and take it apart in 3D.
Plug and play
18 ports. All Type-C.
Every sensor, motor and cable clicks into the same reversible connector — no pin diagrams, no bent legs, and no way for a classroom of thirty to plug one in back to front.
Built to grow
Two boards in one
The AI main board rides on an expansion layer with extra ports and power of its own — the same brain drives every kit, from a first traffic light in Grade 4 to a walking robot in high school.
Endless combinations
Dozens of sensors & actuators
Ultrasonic eyes, fingerprints, GPS, a dial, a display, LEDs, a fan and dozens more — every one clicks straight into a Type-C port, and the board wires them together: turn the dial and the fan spins up, the timer hits zero and the LED lights.
Built-in IMU
Tilt to play
Sensors: the on-board 6-axis IMU — accelerometer and gyroscope, nothing to wire. Build: games you play by tilting and shaking the board. Solves: sensing motion and gravity — step counters, self-balancing robots, gesture and fall detection.
Switch it on
It comes alive
On-board OLED display, RGB lighting, speaker, microphone and AI voice — here running learners' Python games on the A and B buttons, no wiring required.
Dial + fan
Smart fan
Sensors: potentiometer, fan module. Build: a desk fan that follows a dial. Solves: analogue input to motor output — the first control loop every learner builds.
Display + LED
Kitchen timer
Sensors: 4-digit display, red LED. Build: a countdown that alarms at zero. Solves: timing, counting down and signalling — the logic behind every timer and alarm.
Fingerprint + LED
Biometric lock
Sensors: fingerprint reader, blue LED. Build: a door that unlocks for the right finger. Solves: identity — enrol, match and grant access, the way a phone does.
GPS
Where am I?
Sensors: GPS receiver. Build: a tracker that reads its own latitude and longitude. Solves: location — the base of geofencing, route logging and lost-pet finders.
Ultrasonic
Obstacle radar
Sensors: ultrasonic distance sensor. Build: a robot that stops before it hits your hand. Solves: sensing distance — parking sensors, collision avoidance, smart bins.
