SXSW Reflections: Roversa and What’s Next in Education

​Roversa took on SXSW with Kim this spring, joining the global conversation about the future of learning and innovation. We connected with parents, educators, and technologists about the future of STEM education and discovered they want more hands-on, more creativity, and less screen time. That’s exactly where we shine. Whether it's storytelling, world-building, or transforming cardboard into a robotic creature, Roversa helps kids create with technology—not just consume it

Key Takeaways from SXSW

The Power of Open Source

Open source is more than just a tech trend—it's a movement that unlocks possibility.  It gives educators the freedom to adapt and build on tools like Roversa to meet their students' unique needs. By keeping our platform open and accessible, we’re helping schools break down barriers, foster collaboration, and fuel innovation from the ground up.

The Interdisciplinary Future is Here

Forget silos—the future of education is connected. At SXSW, we saw a growing demand for learning experiences that blend science, storytelling, social-emotional learning, and design. Roversa is built for that kind of flexibility. It’s not just a robot—it’s a launchpad for cross-curricular creativity and critical thinking.

Rewriting the Entrepreneurship Playbook

The next wave of entrepreneurs isn’t just building startups—they’re building systems of change. At SXSW, we saw a movement toward mission-driven, inclusive innovation. Roversa reflects this mindset: we’re not just selling a product; we’re co-creating a future where every student can see themselves as a maker, an inventor, and a storyteller.
SXSW reminded us that the future of learning is open, integrated, and hands-on—and Roversa is ready to help lead the way.
