Alpy Educational Robot is an innovative educational robotics platform designed to introduce coding and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts to learners ranging from preschool to university level. Developed by designer Levent Muslular and team members Alp Erdener, Anıl Özfuttu, and Doğuhan Pala, this versatile robotic system employs a modular cubic form that enables transformation from a basic physically programmed robot to an autonomous intelligent device. The robot's design, which earned a Golden A' Design Award in the Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design category, features a sophisticated combination of acrylic outer plates manufactured through CNC laser cutting and a chassis composed of two identical aluminum parts, resulting in compact dimensions of 135 x 110 x 110mm and a child-friendly weight of 530 grams. The system operates in conjunction with a mobile application and a two-sided board, offering both structured scenarios with progressive difficulty levels and free exploration modes that allow children to experiment with drawing shapes and programming movement patterns. Alpy's platform incorporates various sensors, lights, and sound feedback mechanisms, enabling interactive learning experiences while maintaining a robust, tool-free assembly process through its innovative modular design. The educational robot's customizable nature is achieved through interchangeable opaque, transparent, rigid, and function-specific modules with standardized interfaces, making it an exceptionally versatile teaching tool for STEAM education.
