pib is the open-source printable intelligent bot anyone can build in the classroom.

Through pib@school, young STEM talents not only experience sustainable knowledge transfer in robotics, 3D printing and AI, but also strengthen their self-efficacy through a unique practical experience.

Interdisciplinary and competency-oriented content from computer science, physics, biology, ethics and project management are adressed in an exciting and motivating way.

Use cases for the pib@school-project:
In our experience, the project is perfect for a P-seminar, elective course, working group or project week.

You need: The set with non-printable parts (pib.Box School), access to a 3D printer, filament, a few simple tools and curiosity about the project – that’s it!

All the necessary print files, easy-to-follow instructions, and a handy checklist, to keep everything organized, are available on our website. The building instructions are designed to allow students to work as independently as possible.

The pib.Academy provides insightful learning materials for teachers, designed with a didactic background and tested in practice. It covers robotics, AI, and lots of background topics like bionic connections or technical fundamentals.

And if there is a problem, we are here for you – just like the community, which you are, of course, a part of!

The box includes all needed non-printable parts for pib with one arm (screws, motors, screen, AI camera, etc.). In addition, the box includes access to our teaching materials in the pib.Academy. 100h printing support and 5h individual support are also covered.

You can order the box directly in our shop. If you need an official offer, no problem – just contact us.

We would also be happy to give you a little input about which financing options could be considered (pib.Boost Partnership, Crowdfunding, Funding programs, etc.)

Contact us and we will help you.

There are no limits to your creativity in this open source project! You can

1. Control pib via our Cerebra software.
2. Create choreographies by combining saved poses.
3. Chat or talk with pib, thanks to an interface to an LLM.
4. Program pib – visually with Blockly or directly with Python.
5. Have pib imitate your gestures using the AI ​​camera.
6. Further develop pib as an open source project according to your ideas.
7. And many other possibilities.

How about teaching pib rock-paper-scissors? Or make it your personal tutor? Maybe pib will even become the new school mascot?

You can easily download the print files and the print checklist and get started straight away.
