LEO Innovations LLC


Past HENAAC Award Winner Leo Estevez, developed a Robot game to motivate kids in science, math and computer programming. Launched on Kickstarter, Rekam-DR1 empowers students to build their own robot and uses text messaging to program it. Want to learn how to build your own robot and turn your smartphone into a handheld game controller? More important, do want to help kids learn about STEM in a fun and engaging way? Leo Estevez, an electrical engineer at Texas Instruments, has the skills and knowledge to make this a reality. Leo developed a new robot called REKAM-DR1 that uses Bluetooth to turn a smartphone (IOS/Android device) into a robot brain and handheld game controller. Users can send a text message to their Rekam-DR1 to get a drink, tell a joke, play music, play a game, or send an email.
The project was recently launched on the crowd source site Kickstarter.
