Vision

Computational Thinking lays at the heart of modern society. It is the driving force behind automation and technology that helps us overcome challenges in medical care, logistics and industry. As such, this 21st century skill should have the same status as mathematics and language education.

Computational Thinking essentially is learning how think in a structured and logical way, such that you can make a machine work for you.

The best way to introduce these important skills is through a motivating learning environment. Robomind Academy is such and environment.

History

Robomind, a desktop application, was originally developed by Arvid Halma in an academic setting.

RoboMind Academy is developed in 2013 as a joined initiative between Arvid Halma, Ernst Bovenkamp and Jan van Oorschot.

Currently, Robomind Academy is kept running by Jan van Oorschot in order to repay society for a long career in IT.
