Core offering

Sunbot is a STEAM education program for preschool children (ages 3-6) that integrates interactive robots controlled by logic command cards, map-based learning games, and standardized curriculum materials. The program is licensed to preschools and kindergartens as a turnkey solution including robots, learning materials, software, lesson plans, and teacher training, validated by the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences (VNIES).

Product overview

Sunbot is a unified STEAM education ecosystem developed by KIRO Vietnam for children aged 3–6. The portfolio consists of three interconnected offerings: the core Sunbot program (which combines interactive robots controlled via logic command cards, map-based games, and structured STEAM activities), Sunbot Camp (short-term project-based camps focusing on Vietnamese culture and technology skills), and Sunbot Workshop (professional development services for educators and school administrators). Together, these products form a complete solution for early childhood STEAM education spanning curriculum, learning materials, robotics hardware, and teacher training.

Direct peers

• KUBO Robotics: KUBO offers tag-tile-based screenless coding robots for ages 4–10, sold to schools with curriculum and lesson plans. Its map/command-piece-driven approach is highly analogous to Sunbot's command-card robot navigation system.
• Matatalab: Matatalab is an international edtech company offering screenless, tangible-block coding robots and STEAM curriculum for early childhood and primary classrooms. Its hands-on robot-plus-curriculum product mirrors Sunbot's blend of programmable robots and map-based play, making it the closest global comparable in target age group and delivery model.
• Wonder Workshop: Wonder Workshop (Dash, Dot, Cue) provides programmable classroom robots paired with curriculum and a teacher PD program, marketed to elementary schools. The bundle of robot + lesson library + workshops is structurally comparable to Sunbot's product stack.
• Cubetto (Primo Toys): Primo Toys' Cubetto is a tangible, screenless coding robot for ages 3–6 sold to preschools alongside a curriculum pack. Its age range, screen-free command-block interface, and classroom-licensing model make it the closest direct functional analog to Sunbot's robot-and-command-card design.
• Ozobot: Ozobot makes compact educational robots and STEAM content used in primary and preschool classrooms worldwide, with a similar combination of tangible robots, lesson plans, and teacher training. It targets the same teacher-led classroom adoption motion as Sunbot.

Broad incumbents

• LEGO Education: LEGO Education is the established global incumbent in classroom robotics and STEAM kits (WeDo 2.0, SPIKE, MINDSTORMS), sold into preschools and K-12 schools. It overlaps with Sunbot on the preschool STEAM hardware + curriculum bundle but competes from a global brand and broader portfolio rather than a localized Vietnamese curriculum focus.

Regional players

• Edmodo (ARCHOS / Edmodo Vietnam distributors): International EdTech platforms distributed in Vietnam (e.g., via Edmodo, ARCHOS Education) compete for the same preschool STEAM/teacher PD budgets. They serve as global-region alternatives for schools comparing Sunbot to imported solutions.
• FPT Edu / FPT Software: FPT is a major Vietnamese technology conglomerate that operates STEM/STEAM programs through FPT Edu and runs K-12 robotics clubs. It is a domestic competitor pursuing preschool/primary STEAM enrichment in the same Vietnamese market as Sunbot.

Emerging players

• Topica EdTech Group: Topica is a Vietnamese-origin edtech group with K-12 online tutoring and STEM products distributed regionally in SEA. It overlaps with Sunbot in Vietnam's STEM/K-12 supplementary learning segment and represents a credible SEA-scale competitor.
• Tinkerine Studios: Tinkerine provides 3D printing and STEAM classroom solutions primarily for schools. It overlaps with Sunbot on the preschool STEAM curriculum and teacher-training category, though its product focuses on 3D printing rather than robotics.
