Kazakh edtech startup CodiPlay closed $2 million in its seed funding round from the Tumar Venture Fund, a Kazakh private venture fund managed by White Hill Capital.
Founded in 2021, CodiPlay focuses on teaching children programming and creating IoT projects based on robotics.
“Investors have recognized our significant social impact and contribution to IT education in our country and our commitment to increasing technical literacy among children,” said Zhanadil Taldybayev, CodiPlay CEO.
CodiPlay claimed the platform will be used in over 120 schools in Kazakhstan by September. Several schools in South Korea use the platform, while the schools of the United Arab Emirates and Türkiye are soon to introduce it in test mode.
The other potential market for the startup is the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, due to the similarities in educational systems with Kazakhstan.
The startup has also created CodiKit kits that contain parts and mock-ups for creating 30 IoT projects, from traffic lights to smart home systems.
