In this age of digital revolution, learning through robotics is a fun and exciting way for children to foster their creative and critical thinking, and introduce them to science and math. Probo, a South Korean edtech company, launches its Probo Connect robotics curriculum in China and Southeast Asia as it aims to expand its services outside of South Korea.
Founded in 2011, Probo develops robotic educational products, providing various coding learning tools, robot-making packages, robot parts, and sensors. Probo aims to break away from the traditional robot textbooks and offer professional robot education through high-quality content. The company’s educational content allows parents and educators to encourage scientific curiosity and coding skills among schoolchildren.
The company also organizes coding competitions to help users learn the science behind robots while interacting with others. Probo annually organizes a Robot Championship attended by more than 800 participants.
“Probo” is a combination of the words Professional and Robot. The edtech company provides its products in South Korea, China, Vietnam, and Australia, among others. It has 33 branch offices here and an overseas subsidiary located in China.
