Electronic technology company Twin Science and Robotics took the initiative to create a new metaverse to inculcate the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (VOTE) online. The program unifies a digital learning platform with hands-on projects to enable the whole world to have access to the teaching program. The school is accessible via a mobile application called the Twin application.

The startup Ed-Tech, born four years ago, aims to solve the challenges of pollution, climate change and autonomous technologies. Its ultimate goal is to develop “Social learning environments”, where students would follow the established study program. There they could learn from each other, and from teachers.
The Twin app should help students keep up interactive courses and seminars on the basics of coding, robotics and other topics and VOTE. Their vision is immense, because it is meant change the current education system become obsolete.
A large-scale program reserved for children
The company said it aims to prepare students for a job market gradually integrated with technology by pushing their interests into STEM, where tech companies and governments are looking qualified candidates. Hundreds of thousands of these kits have already been shared with student families and educational organizations around the world. The aim would be to extend the process of technological improvement before the advent of global disasters.
The program includes social science, to stay true to Twin’s humanitarian efforts and ethics. It is mainly intended for students ages 8 to 11 and is composed of six different kits, subdivided into concepts such as robotics and coding, aviation and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
More 500,000 children would use STEM kits and its applications, or attend their workshops and use their know-how to invent machines.
Accessibility for all?
Demand is growing in the fields of data science, full-stack engineering, AI and automation. Yet, many students around the world are disadvantaged and cannot access Twin’s skills building programs. To solve this problem, the start-up intends to provide its services accessible to all. Also, although the application and kits are basically designed to work together, it would currently be possible for customers to buy them separately to access distance learning activities, regardless of connectivity.
The school could expand in the next few years its current offers and age groups in order to meet a growing demand for the hybrid learning models that it believes to be a predominant learning mode.
