In this week’s episode of the “Power Kid Podcast,” host Phil Albritton of Power Kid Design speaks with Thuan Tran, national sales director of Pai Technology.
On the show, Tran discusses living at the crossroads of technology and toys, including Botzees — Pai Technology’s award-winning STEM robots that kids can program to move, dance, make sounds, and light up using the free companion app.
Part of Pai Technology’s mission statement is to create “new lifestyles” for its customers and Thuan unpacks that while discussing the development differences between traditional toys vs. tech toys. Additionally, Albritton and Tran delve into the importance of creating “tech that connects” rather than tech for tech’s sake. Finally, Tran offers up tips for creating complex products that young kids can enjoy alongside details on how Botzees is integrated into classrooms around the country to give students their first experience with coding.
