Design for Amperka Robots kits
2015—now
Amperka Robots
Position: Art Director (Cluster Design Company)
Team: 4 people
Amperka is a manufacturer of educational robotics and electronics. Starter kits that help children learn programming languages and circuit design.
Since 2015, I have been working with the Amperka company and helping them design educational kits for DIY electronics as a designer and art director. One of the challenges we tackled is to make the design less technical and more fun to appeal to more people who are just getting started with electronic components.
Results
✦ Designed 14 kits: visual concept, packaging, educational book;
✦ Developed layouts, grids and typographic styles for educational books;
✦ The kits that we helped design 10 years ago are still in production and are popular with customers;
✦ Developed basic rules for developing technical illustrations and diagrams.

One of the latest sets is 8-bit academy. With this kit you can learn the basics of Arduino programming and write your first game. We developed the image of pixel characters from electronic components, which are periodically found in the educational book.
For the Malina kit, we came up with a teenage character who explores the city and carries a Raspberry Pi mini-controller with him everywhere and solves various problems with it.
Dragster is a controllable racing car, for which we created the image of a home workshop where a young engineer could come up with his own gadgets
IO Kit. Basic is the first part of thematic sets.
