Operating as a specialized educational technology platform, IoT KIDS is positioned as a pioneering entity within Iraq's burgeoning tech education sector. The company provides online courses tailored for children and teenagers aged five to fifteen, focusing on critical modern skills such as programming, robotics, game design, electronics, and artificial intelligence. The core of their business strategy is to address the prevalent issue of smartphone addiction among young people by redirecting their screen time towards productive and inventive activities. Revenue is generated through the sale of these online courses and related educational kits, which are accessible via the company's platform, Messarat. The platform is structured into distinct learning tracks, including AI, electronics and design, and software, which utilize tools like PictoBlox to simplify complex concepts through a visual, project-based learning environment.
The company was co-founded by Ali Mohsen, Mohammed Khaled, and Ahmed Daoud. Their mission is to equip children with the necessary knowledge and skills to solve the challenges of the 21st century. The platform facilitates a hands-on approach, enabling students to develop logical thinking and the practical skills needed to research and create. IoT KIDS has established a significant presence, operating in nine cities across Iraq and fostering a large community of young learners. This physical and digital footprint is supported by a mobile application available on both Google Play and the App Store, enhancing accessibility for its user base.
The firm has garnered notable recognition for its contributions to digital and youth development. It received an award from ESCWA for the best Arabic digital content for sustainable development in 2023, the Silver Innovation Award from the American University in Sulaymaniyah in 2022, and was named the best entrepreneurial project at the Ruwad Iraq Awards in 2019. Additionally, the Ministry of Youth and Sports presented them with the Youth Shield in 2019, the same year they won a local award from the Seedstars business accelerator. These accolades underscore the company's impact and its successful model of blending education with practical, forward-looking skill development.
