“Our award-winning RobotiKits™ and new Mini-Solar Kits are designed to teach the basics of robotics, electronics, and alternative energy principles. The kits come in a wide variety of cars, boats, animals and robotic arms that give students an educational experience that is also enjoyable. Fun friendly characters and a better understanding of solar power make these kits the ultimate science project,” remarked Craig Morioka, President of Owikit®.

OWI will also offer attendees a sneak peek of its state-of-the-art wireless infrared classroom system.
