Radenta and Shape Robotics Drive Education Robotics Innovation
Radenta and Danish Ed-tech company Shape Robotics have partnered to advance education robotics in the Philippines. This collaboration aims to integrate robotics into the country’s education system, enhancing STEM learning nationwide. Recently, both companies participated in the Special Curricular Program (SCP) for teachers organized by the Schools Division Office (SDO) at Vista Marina Hotel in Subic Bay Freeport Zone. They also contributed to the Empowering Academic Excellence through Technology events at De La Salle Dasmariñas and De La Salle Zobel.
Shape Robotics specializes in “techducation,” blending technology and education to support STEM educators, curriculum developers, school administrators, robotics clubs, after-school programs, and training centers across public and private schools. This partnership strengthens efforts to promote education robotics in the Philippines.
The Fable Modular Robotics System: A STEM Game Changer
At the heart of Shape Robotics’ offerings is the Fable modular robotics system, widely used in over 12,000 schools worldwide. Fable supports simple drag-and-drop coding with Blocky and advanced programming using Python. It also integrates with Raspberry Pi and Arduino to expand hardware capabilities. Equipped with servo motors, sensors, and an AI camera, this robot allows students to explore robotics deeply.
Fable seamlessly connects with Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams for tracking assignments and integrates with Learning Management Systems (LMS) for streamlined curriculum delivery. Its AI Vision and object detection features enable innovative projects, including IoT applications for smart automation.
Easy, Scalable, and Engaging Robotics Education
Designed for quick assembly, Fable’s plug-and-play system requires no complicated wiring or setup. Students can immediately begin building and coding, boosting engagement and hands-on learning. Its AI and sensor integration empowers learners to tackle topics like machine learning and automation early on.
By blending robotics with math, science, engineering, and technology, Fable supports cross-disciplinary education. This approach nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills—key competencies for the future workforce.
Durability, Curriculum Support, and Security
Fable is built to last with high-quality materials that endure everyday classroom use, including rough handling. It comes with ready-made, curriculum-aligned lesson plans and offers ample training for educators through workshops and online communities. Video tutorials further support teachers and students alike.
The system delivers excellent performance with fast Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing, long battery life, and reliability, making it suitable for individual projects or large classrooms.
Security is a top priority. Fable ensures data privacy by restricting personal student data collection for local software use. Its encrypted connectivity safeguards information, while teachers can monitor progress and control access to features. Automatic software updates keep the system current and secure.
This partnership between Radenta and Shape Robotics promises to revolutionize education robotics in the Philippines by providing accessible, advanced, and secure learning tools.
