Kids today spend less time outdoors and often struggle to stay focused. Buggo is an insect observation kit that combines AI with physical tools, guiding children to search, observe, and record insects—helping them build a lasting connection with nature rather than simply “seeing bugs.”
Buggo can be used at home, in schools, or during outdoor learning activities. With real-time AI identification and prompts, children can quickly understand insect information while being encouraged to observe more carefully, ask questions, and stay engaged.
Buggo offers both educational and entertainment value. It helps parents reduce children’s screen time and develop patience, while also supporting inquiry-based learning in classrooms. Its design replaces traditional catching methods, improving safety and minimizing disturbance to the ecosystem.
