During the 2017-18 academic year we carried out a series of codingactivities, lasting about 3 months, in a third of the Giulia Falletti primaryschool in Barolo in Turin (Gena et a., 2020). These activities aimed to teachstudents not only the basics of programming, but also to introduce a newlanguage and a new way of thinking and solving problems: computationalthinking. The class consisted of 25 pupils: 14 males and 11 females, which wethen operationally divided into two working groups (13 + 12) to make codinglessons more manageable and provide better childcare. The lessons lasted onehour and were conducted, in the presence of one of the teachers, by a computerteacher assisted by a student / facilitator. At the end of the three months ofthis positive experience, we realized that having an educational robot that canperform the same kind of actions that virtual robots do, like those ofcode.org, is very useful for children, especially to help them to solveorientation problems. Therefore, since no commercial robot had thecharacteristics we wanted, we decided to create an educational robot fromscratch, equipped with social, interactive and emotional skills, able toinvolve children and establish an emotional bond with them in order to increasetheir learning and involvement. We decided from the beginning to design therobot as an open source project, made at a low cost, proposing a kit that canbe easily reproduced and improved by anyone who wishes.
