Bicho-bot educational kits

Bicho-bot was born in July 2022 as a teaching robot for the workshops of the Corporación Cultural de Lo Barnechea, for girls and boys aged 6 to 12. It was my first project at Ideo Maker.

In 2023 we turned it into an Ideo Maker kit, to be sold. It was improved and updated, and the parts and graphics were designed so it could be mass produced and fit inside the box.

My role

  • Product design
  • Fit and digital fabrication: MDF parts that fit inside the box
  • Graphic design for the kit version, with Patricia Ramírez

Since then it has been the workshop Ideo Maker brings to every Congreso Futuro en tu comuna event, in high schools and hospitals.
