Little Hero - Expandable STEM Robot for Kids

Project Overview

Little Hero is the flagship educational product from Be Cre8v, a STEM learning startup where I served as a founding member. Designed for children aged 4 to 16, it is a modular, Arduino-based obstacle-sensing robot that introduces young learners to electronics, robotics, and coding through hands-on exploration. Inspired by systems like LEGO and mBlock, Little Hero supports hardware expansion, allowing kids to build, customize, and enhance their robots as they learn. Deployed globally in STEM workshops, classrooms, and maker labs
