Tio is a kit to quickly build app-controlled toys and inventions with everyday objects and materials. It is connected hardware that can be attached to almost anything including recycled and craft material, lego, old toys, gadgets and even 3D prints.
The app customises and programs the toys. It controls many features like speed, direction and colours. Key to the experience is the Tio storybook, full of friendly characters who guide children through imaginary worlds and their first creations.
Tio recently won the NACUE’s Varsity Pitch Competition judged by Tata Europe, Microsoft Ventures, YPlan and The Guardian.
Based in Central London, Tio was dreamt up by three aspiring innovators with a vision to inspire tomorrow’s inventors. Kids at heart, they are dedicated to creating a new way of inventing, playing and learning.
