Abstract

Rosie prepares children for the future of work. It is a new way to learn science at school and at home. Its consists of an exploratory app and robot for ages 8 and up. The story starts with the robot arriving from outer space. Children then teach the robot about the magic of science on earth. The technology is as simple as Lego, it sparks creativity and fosters collaboration. Rosie motivates children to discover and learn science in the real world. It simply makes science fun and accessible. The mission is to spark a lifelong passion for science.

Was ist das Besondere an diesem Projekt?

Rosie is a new way to learn science and future skills. The technology integrates storytelling, learning science and gamification. It combines the power of digital learning and scientific discovery. With Rosie, children ask questions, find evidence and discover solutions. In other words, it inspires children to think scientifically and learn like a real scientist. The result is an entirely new, effective and memorable educational experience.

The project is being developed in close collaboration with teachers, parents and children. Project pilots and iterative prototypes expose them to the design process. These user and customer insights drive tech development whilst expanding the projects reach and impact. This open and collaborative approach both educates the user and informs the design.

Rosie has the potential to change the way children learn science. It will equip them with the skills to power the innovation economy of tomorrow. It will not only teach fundamental science but critically gets children to collaborate and think creatively. In the long-term, Swiss society will benefit from an influx of collaborative and creative young scientists with the ability to address the world’s greatest challenges.

Stand/Resultate

The project starts March 1, 2017. The initial focus is on product prototyping, customer pilots and team development. The objective is to prepare the team and technology ready for market launch and thereby enrich the Swiss educational landscape.
