The best way to learn robotics is with a partner!
Meet Pip
small robot.
big possibilities.
With Pip by your side, learning feels like play: write code to solve fun challenges, and watch your ideas spring to life right before your eyes. Pip might fit in your pocket, but this tiny robot is full of big surprises!
the lab
The Lab is our free learning platform where your robotics journey begins. As you move through bite-sized lessons, you'll go from curious beginner to robotics whiz:
Demos
Watch Pip show off the very things you're learning about.
Read
Simple explanations that clarify tricky concepts.
Code
Solve fun coding challenges that test your skills and bring Pip to life!
New to coding? No problem! We guide you through each step, and our AI checks your solutions for correctness.
Anyone can use the Lab for free! But having your own Pip turns your digital ideas into real-world action – that's when the magic really happens.
learn by doing
We bring Pip into the learning at every step to create an experience you won't find anywhere else. The Lab teaches you cool concepts, and Pip shows you how they work in real life.

Start with drag-and-drop blocks and advance to text-based coding when you're ready. Your pace, your journey.
Track Your Growth
Watch your skills evolve with progress tracking that celebrates every milestone, from basic movements to advanced robotics.
bridging two worlds
Robotics is all about bringing the physical and digital worlds together, and we help you explore both! With Pip and the Lab, your code jumps off the screen and into real life.
As robots become a bigger part of our everyday world, Pip gives you hands-on experience with:
Engineering mindset and critical thinking
Creative problem-solving through code
Data-driven decision making
STEM literacy for the digital age
by builders,
for builders
As engineers who grew up tinkering, we've experienced firsthand how traditional robotics education can be frustrating and limiting.
Pip is the product we wish we had—no assembly required, no ceiling on what you can learn!
Behind Pip is our small and passionate team, committed to revolutionizing how robotics is taught and learned.
