Kids these days already have exposure to AI in their daily lives; from voice assistants to smart filters, everything is built on AI, but very few understand how it works. Quarky Intellio flips the script there; kids learn to develop their own innovations using this tool rather than passively consuming what’s already been created. It enables students to build applications of multimodal AI and AR with a single reliable device.
Meet Quarky Intellio: LEGO Compatible DIY for AI and AR
Designed for kids ages 10+, makers, and educators, Intellio supports both Block Coding and Python in PictoBlox to create exciting AI-powered DIY projects like self-driving cars with marker-based AR interactions, desk companions, and robo pets. LEGO parts compatibility gives it an edge, making it more versatile and tinker-ready.
It is built on the popular ESP32-S3 microcontroller with onboard camera, microphone and speaker, along with an SD card slot, and a rechargeable Li-ion battery, all inbuilt, completely turnkey, making it one of its kind out there.
It connects seamlessly with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Quarky, and Evive boards, and supports a wide variety of servos, motors, sensors, and displays.
A Turnkey Tool for Smart Innovations
With Intellio, every project becomes a playful gateway to understanding real-world AI and AR. It proves to be an ideal AI-powered STEM learning and playing robot, given that it beats most products on the market in terms of convenience. It frees the user from the hassle of integrating necessary peripherals such as batteries, communication modules, and more. It’s all either wireless or inbuilt with prebuilt firmware as well.
From Concepts to Creation: Make Real-World AI-Powered Projects
- Students don’t just follow instructions; they build solutions that mirror how AI and robotics operate in the real world.
- Whether it’s creating an intelligent security system, a robo-pet that also acts like an assistant, or an autonomous rover, each project trains them to break down problems, think logically and iterate creatively.
- This hands-on application-first approach nurtures computational thinking, the ability to design, test and improve ideas using technology as a tool. In the process, learners develop skills that directly align with the future of work in AI, robotics, automation and emerging tech.
These aren’t just classroom activities; they are stepping stones to tomorrow’s careers. Some of the Examples are as follows:
Build a Self-Driving Car using ML and OpenCV
All you have to do is train your robo car using TinyML that sees, drives, and even delivers.
Desk Companion with Integrated ChatGPT Support
Your AI-powered desk buddy that’s ready to hear, see and talk with spec recognition, face recognition and ChatGPT.
Sumo Robot Using Card Recognition and AR AprilTags
Face-off with an autonomous pair of robots that tracks, pushes and dodges using object detection
Robo Pet using Speech Recognition and Object Detection
A robo pet that follows voice commands, fetches on cue, and even guards your space.
Autonomous Soccer Robo using AR Marker and Object Detection
Let the robot find the ball, target the goal using an AR marker and score to win.
Your AI and AR Companion in Classrooms
We’re seeing a clear pedagogical shift, from teaching theoretically about technology to enabling students to solve real-world problems with it. Quarky Intellio supports Edge AI, allowing the learners to experience the high-end side of robotics through TinyML. This will enable students to apply AI to meaningful challenges, turning concepts into practical impacts.

The Right Tool that Unlocks the Right Imagination: Enable Kids to Envision Robots with On-Board AI
When working with DIY robotics, kids don’t just picture robots that move; they picture robots that make other people’s lives a little easier, and smart robots that know better. Quarky Intellio makes that possible by putting AI directly on board. No scaling down the ideas and dumbing down imagination to fit the hardware. This tool matches the ambition, and that’s where real creativity begins.

Ideate Projects with Finesse Instead of Staying Tangled in Complicated Cables.
This revolutionary product is made to let the ideas flow without detours into cable management or troubleshooting. Students spend their time refining concepts, experimenting with behaviours, and crafting projects with real finesse, not wrestling with ports, hubs, and adapters. When the setup disappears, creativity takes over, and the quality of what they build instantly levels up.
AI-Powered Module that Grows with Every Learner
One Device for Tinkerers of All Ages
Quarky Intellio is designed for learners ages 10+. It is for all the tech enthusiasts, from curious beginners to advanced tinkerers, hobbyists, and school robotics teams. It fits naturally into classrooms, makerspaces, afterschool programs, and home learning environments where students are encouraged to explore, experiment and build.
An AI-Powered Pocket-Sized Trailblazer
Intellio is a wireless programmable board that comes with AI capabilities, including a camera for computer vision, a microphone for speech input, and a speaker for interactive voice responses, no external modules, no complicated add-ons.
Together, this makes Intellio an AR-AI-powered learning companion that grows with the learner; intuitive enough to start with, powerful enough to create real, intelligent systems.
