OTTO DIY workshop
OTTO Workshop with Toyooka City
- In February 2021, Toyooka City and FabLab Nishiharima jointly held an online workshop titled “Assembling Otto and Programming with Otto Blockly.” Around 13 children, ranging from 3rd grade elementary school students to 2nd year junior high school students, participated and enjoyed learning. At the end of the session, each participant decorated their own Otto robot, resulting in a colorful collection of Ottos. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all planning and coordination meetings were conducted online. Thanks to the cooperative efforts of the staff from Toyooka City and FabLab Nishiharima, we were able to identify potential issues and prepare effective solutions in advance. We are truly grateful to the staff of Toyooka City for their smooth and generous support throughout the process.

What is Otto DIY?
-
Otto DIY is an open-source robot. The assembly process does not require any special tools—just a screwdriver—and can be completed in a few hours. It supports programming through block-based editors, making it an excellent educational tool for beginners learning to code. From assembling mechanical and electronic components to controlling the robot through programming, Otto DIY is packed with hands-on making and learning experiences.
