Train a Robot. Learn Science
The Rosie Project was an educational initiative, prompted by the team’s conviction that exceptional science education should be accessible to all. Their mission was to provide effective educational technology that inspires a lifelong passion for science. The team developed an educational app about the story of Rosie, a curious robot from a distant galaxy that crashed on planet earth. Children ages 8 and up were encouraged to teach Rosie about life on earth by conducting science experiments in the real world and by leveraging smartphone sensors and augmented reality
During their time at Wyss Zurich, the Rosie team refined the app and conducted workshops in collaboration with schools, universities, and businesses, thereby allowing involving children, parents, and educators throughout development. The startup RosieReality ceased operations in the summer of 2020 when it sold off its assets to a third party in California’s Bay Area.
