WHO IS BELLA

Bella is a classroom robot for children aged 6 to 12. She arrives knowing nothing at all; the children teach her to see and hear, using their own photos, their own voices, their own things.

No coding. No internet. No accounts, and nothing stored; a class teaches her, the lesson ends, and it is gone. Supervised, offline, and built for a real classroom rather than a lab.

CAPABILITIES

What Bella
can do

Snap and Learn

‍

Her camera is how she learns. Ten photos of a banana, ten of anything else, and she can tell you

which is which.

Speak and Play

‍

Beeps, chimes, swooshes and a sonic boom. The children pick which sound she makes when she is right; and when she is not.

Move Around 360


Forward, back, left, right and a full turn on the spot; in one, three, five, seven or ten second steps.

Glow and Emotions


Eyes that blink, wink, twinkle or go sad. How she reacts is decided by the children who programmed her, not by us.

And I will get it wrong

Let me show

Ready-made lessons that fit one period

A flashcard is a 25-minute exercise: what to train, what to try, what should happen. One idea per card, in words a twelve-year-old reads without putting a hand up.

Nothing she learns ever leaves her

The photos and sounds stay on the robot, and the training runs there too. No cloud, no accounts, no pupil records; the lesson ends and it is gone.

Bella Flow: programming without typing

If Bella sees a banana → wink, beep, forward three seconds. Otherwise → sad eyes and reverse. Loops and conditions sit underneath, for the ones who go looking.

One Lesson. No Prep. No IT Ticket.

Setup is joining her WIFI and opening a page: five minutes, once per device, not once per class. A card fits a 25-minute rotation with time left over.

Connection

Scan the QR code, join her WIFI, and you see what she sees.
