WhalesBot STEM & AI Robotics Learning Ecosystem

WhalesBot is a STEM robotics and AI education company with headquarters at 188 Zixu Road, Minhang District, Shanghai. It supplies schools, institutions and families with modular robot kits, coding tools and curriculum for learners aged 3 to 22, and states that its products are used in more than 80 countries.

The ecosystem links hardware, software and curriculum. Hardware includes modular kits, the build-free Rocky robot, drones and the EliteMind physical AI robot; software includes the WhalesBot app, Scratch, Python and C support, a browser-based IDE, the RoboVR virtual robotics platform and the OceanLevel curriculum and AI literacy platform. The company also supports the ENJOY AI youth competition.

• Modular robot kits: build-and-code kits for learners aged 3 to 22.
• EliteMind physical AI robot: runs the W-Hong LLM and supports voice interaction and visual understanding.
• Multi-level coding tools: magnetic coding blocks, coding cards, WeCode Pro, Scratch, Python, C and a browser IDE.
• RoboVR: a 3D virtual robotics platform for simulation.
• OceanLevel: curriculum delivery and AI literacy platform with courses and model training.
• ENJOY AI competition: a youth robotics and AI contest that supports applied learning.

Vietnamese schools can run STEM or informatics clubs and elective classes with modular kits and block-to-Python progression. Education centers can use the kits for robotics courses and entry into regional competitions. Distributors can resell kits with curriculum to private school networks.

Schools can source kits, software and curriculum from one vendor instead of assembling them separately. Multiple coding environments (block-based, Python, C) let the same hardware serve primary through secondary grades. A virtual robotics platform and competition pathway extend classroom use. The company reports reach of 30,000+ schools.

Governments and schools in Southeast Asia are adding coding, robotics and AI literacy to curricula, which raises demand for ready-made classroom kits with curriculum support. Vendors are moving from single kits toward integrated hardware, software and teacher-training ecosystems, and toward physical AI learning tools.
