Our story
Making programming less intimidating, and more affordable.
We started Roverdrive to tackle two big problems in computer science education: it's expensive, and it feels scary. Here's how we're changing that.
Why it's different
Coding doesn't need to be intimidating. With Roverdrive, kids see their code move in real time.
Robotics shouldn't be expensive. A real robot can cost less than $20 to build and still do amazing things.
Beginners learn best through play. Small challenges build confidence one step at a time.
Drag and drop
No syntax errors, no complex commands. Just snap blocks together and run.
See the code move
Your program runs on a real robot through Bluetooth. Code stops being abstract.
Modular design
Swap wheels, attach modules, extend capabilities. Built to grow with learners.
The numbers that drove us
43%
of high schools offer computer science courses in Arizona.
2.3%
of students at those schools are actually enrolled in CS.
<$20
The cost to build a real, functional Roverdrive robot.
Computer science education is locked behind expensive kits and complex tools. We built Roverdrive to prove it doesn't have to be. A real robot, hands-on learning, and genuine programming - all accessible and affordable.
