PRIA(Vienna, Austria) is an independent non-profit organization with the aim to promote scientific and technical excellence in schools. To do so, they use robotics in education and various research projects, where they involve students with exciting scientific and engineering topics.
They developed Hedgehog to be simple, flexible and affordable. The Hedgehog Educational Robotics Controller is the centerpiece of this platform, that you combine with your smartphone or computer. Its simplicity makes it suitable for beginners, and Hedgehog is powerful enough to grow with your needs.
