South Korean EduTech Company, 3.14, Successfully Funds Its Second Kickstarter Project, Kamibot Pi

3.14 specializes in creating robots that can teach children the basics of coding in a fun way in order for them to boost their critical and creative thinking skills.

3.14 has announced that with the help of its returning and new backers, the South Korean edutech company was able to successfully hit its funding goal for Kamibot Pi.

After successfully delivering the Kamibot to its first Kickstarter backers, 3.14 went back to the drawing books to figure out how they could make a product that could be more accessible and provide even more value for its customers. Three years later, the company announced the launch of Kamibot Pi.

Kamibot Pi includes even more features such as:

  • 4 natural progression levels of coding
  • Curriculum books for each level
  • Smaller in size for increased portability
  • Scratch-based coding app
  • ​Physical remote control
  • Reduced price from the original Kamibot 
  • And much more!

What allows Kamibot Pi to perform a wide range of functions is due to its four sensors. Two ultrasonic sensors located on the front allow Kamibot Pi to avoid physical obstacles while the two IR sensors located on the bottom allow it to follow lines that can be drawn on any surface.

While upgrades have been made to Kamibot Pi, 3.14 has made the decision to retain a fan-favorite feature from the original design. Staying with Kamibot Pi is the papercraft skins that can be found and printed online for coding students to customize their very own Kamibot Pi. 

Super early bird prices ($59) for the Kamibot Pi are now sold out, but people who visit Kamibot Pi's Kickstarter page can still reserve one for an early bird price ($79). 3.14 has announced that shipping will commence starting June 2020 under the condition that there are no significant delays in its manufacturing process. Any journalists or influencers interested in Kamibot Pi are encouraged to send an inquiry through 3.14's Kickstarter page.
