Asude Altintas Guray, co-founder and CEO of Twin Science & Robotics said, “Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between technology and education, ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality STEM education, This investment marks a significant milestone in our journey, allowing us to scale our impact globally and continue developing AI tools that empower both educators and students.”
The primary goal of the investment is to support the company's innovative "Double-Winged Education" strategy, which combines state-of-the-art technology with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. This helps teachers teach these subjects more effectively and engagingly by combining tangible kits like the Robotic Art Kit, Robotics & Coding Kit, and STEM for Sustainability Kit with gamified digital applications and pre-made lesson plans.
Hynek Sochor, Founder and Managing Partner of Soulmates Ventures said, “STEM education in practice means that students are not just passive recipients of information; they actively engage in projects that link theory to real-world problems. This approach allows them to acquire technical knowledge while also understanding the broader context and developing various skills,”.
