Open-Source STEM Platform

Build the Future
With Your Own Hands.
Learn Like an Engineer.

An open-source, 3D-printed robotic arm powered by Arduino ESP32 — designed for classrooms, universities, and maker spaces. Real kinematics, real code, real engineering.

Why UMX Education

Theory Without Practice
Doesn't Create Engineers

STEM education needs real tools. Our platform delivers them — affordably and openly.

The Problem in Education

Standard STEM curricula are too theoretical. Students write code on screens but never see a physical result. Industrial robots cost a fortune and educational kits are oversimplified toys.

  • Students write code but never see it move a real mechanism
  • Industrial robots cost $25,000–$150,000+
  • Educational kits are simplified toys with no real engineering value
  • No connection between mechanics, electronics, and software in class
  • Fear of breaking things limits hands-on experience

The UMX Solution

A real kinematic robot that students assemble, wire, and program themselves. Break a part? Just 3D-print a new one.

  • Affordable — a robot for every workstation is possible
  • Broken part? 3D-print a replacement in hours, not weeks
  • Program in C++ & MicroPython — real languages, not blocks
  • Integrates mechanics, electronics, and software in one project
  • WiFi control & open source — endless project possibilities
