After more than a decade of working in edtech and teaching coding to thousands of students, from children to young professionals we saw a critical gap in how current AI tools support real learning. Too many platforms offer generic, one-size-fits-all solutions that fail to adapt to the unique needs of each learner, especially those who face challenges like ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences.
Bit&R was born from the belief that every child deserves a safe, accurate, and supportive learning experience, no matter their background or ability. At the heart of our platform is Robert, a proprietary AI learning companion we designed to be more than just a chatbot or content generator. Robert adapts in real time to each child’s learning pace, engagement level, and cognitive needs. Whether a learner needs extra time, simplified explanations, or a different way of approaching a problem, Robert ensures that no child is left behind.
Safety is built into every layer of Bit&R. From content moderation to emotional tone detection, our AI is trained to protect children from harmful interactions and guide them with empathy and encouragement. Accuracy is non-negotiable as Robert provides reliable, age-appropriate support based on a continually refined pedagogical framework. And most importantly, adaptability is core to how Bit&R works: the platform learns with the child, evolving as they grow, explore, and gain confidence.
Bit&R empowers kids aged 8–12 to learn real coding, not just block-based tools or pre-set functions and to create custom web games they can share with friends. In just three hours on the platform, kids gain the foundational skills needed to build their own websites and interactive experiences.
Through hands-on coding challenges and project-based learning, Bit&R guides kids through a continuous learning loop: they solve challenges, unlock new content, and then create their own games, which can be shared publicly to spark engagement and peer interaction, driving platform stickiness and a powerful network effect.
At the core of Bit&R is Robert, our AI co-pilot and Europe’s first generative AI model built specifically for children. Kids can interact with Robert using natural language prompts to build games, while simultaneously learning the logic and concepts behind real code. Robert offers a safe, personalized, and adaptive learning experience, adjusting to each child's skill level, learning pace, and individual needs, including support for learners with ADHD or dyslexia.
To complement this, Bit&R introduces an innovative AI-driven assessment engine that uses fuzzy logic to evaluate coding skills objectively. This system provides real-time performance insights for both students and educators, removing the subjectivity of traditional grading and enabling scalable, data-informed education across classrooms and learning environments.
At the time of writing, we have onboarded over 700 users through our own NGO and coding events held in 15+ schools across Romania, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Greece. Bit&R currently supports 3 languages and has secured an employer benefits partnership that gives us access to more than 20,000 parents. We also collaborate with three national and international NGOs focused on STEM education for children and teachers: Măgurele Science Park, Future Learning Lab Wien, and SuperTeach Romania.
Our data confirms strong product-market fit and engagement. Children spend an average of 5 hours per session, remarkably high for EdTech platforms targeting this age group. Robert, our AI co-pilot, is consulted 2.3 times per minute, indicating that learners actively rely on it for guidance. With a 57% correctness rate and frequent use of our in-platform Coddex dictionary (41 references/session), kids are building knowledge as they progress. On average, each learner creates and shares more than 5 games, and over 80% return after their first session, proving strong retention and satisfaction.
In 2024, we were honored as one of the 30 global finalists out of 2,018 startups for the Aurora Tech Awards for EdTech, and we received the Learning Impact Europe 2024 Prize for K–12 education.
We’ve continuously enhanced Bit&R to become a truly adaptive, inclusive, and intelligent coding platform for kids. The core innovation is Robert, our proprietary GenAI co-pilot as Europe’s first AI model designed specifically for children. Robert helps kids build games using natural language prompts while learning real programming concepts. It adapts to each learner’s pace, style, and needs, offering special support for neurodiverse children, including those with ADHD or dyslexia.
We've replaced linear lesson plans with real-time adaptive learning paths, ensuring no child is left behind while advanced learners stay challenged. A safe game publishing feature lets kids share their creations in a moderated environment, fostering creativity, motivation, and peer learning.
To scale assessment, we introduced an AI-powered fuzzy logic engine that evaluates coding skills objectively and provides real-time insights to both educators and learners eliminating subjective grading. Combined with accessibility-focused UX improvements, Bit&R is now a comprehensive solution that empowers every child to become a confident digital creator.
