Bring AI & Robotics Into Education

Teaching tomorrow’s skills, in schools, vocational training, universities and beyond.

5 Things You Should Know About pib.Education

pib is the printable intelligent bot that anyone can build in a wide range of learning and creative environments.

pib.Education facilitates the transfer of knowledge regarding robotics, 3D printing, and AI, offering a unique hands-on experience for young STEM talent.

01. Build, Don’t Just Watch

Participants of pib.Education build the entire robot themselves — from 3D printing the parts to mechanical assembly and finally programming.

This makes complex technology tangible and accessible while fostering hands-on confidence in their own ability to create and innovate.

02. What You Need

A spark of curiosity: The motivation to not just use technology, but to create it yourself.

A 3D printer: A standard printer (minimum build volume: 220 × 220 × 250 mm) plus filament (approx. 7 kg).

The pib.Edubox: Our kit containing all required electronic and mechanical components, available in our shop.

03. The Power of Open Source & Budget

Democratizing technology: Since the software, CAD files, and bill of materials (BOM) are completely open source, we make advanced technology freely accessible to everyone. You only pay for the filament and the components included in the pib.Edubox.

Funding opportunities: In many cases, the Edubox can be financed through regional STEM funding programs, school support associations, or sponsorships from local companies (pib.Boost Partnership).

04. Fit For Any Enivronment

Maximum flexibility: Ideal for school robotics clubs, interdisciplinary project days, vocational training programs, university courses, makerspaces and STEM innovation hubs.

05. Get Started In 3 Steps

1. Print: Download the free checklist and 3D files, then start printing.

2. Order: Get your pib.Edubox from our shop (we’re also happy to provide quotes for schools, organizations, or companies).

3. Build: Follow the tutorials, learn with the pib.Academy, and connect with the community on Discord to bring your robot to life.

Why Students Love pib.Education

„Participating in the pib (robotics) elective course was an incredible experience. We started by 3D printing the parts, turning digital designs into reality. Assembling the robot was fascinating as we gradually brought it to life. Then came the exciting programming phase, where we implemented the robot’s capabilities using appropriate algorithms. It was a unique experience to witness the entire process and, in the end, admire a fully functional robot.“

(Jakob, a student at the Hans-Sachs-Gymnasium in Nuremberg)
