The History of Dash
Back in the Spring of 2013, Wonder Workshop’s founders were on a mission to create a learn-to-code robot that would appeal to all elementary school students. In an early prototype, they hid the wheels of Dash to make it feel less like a car and more like a friendly robot.
The color was also key in making the robots approachable to all kids. While Blue is a primary color, did you know there are 76 shades and over 300 hues of blue?
In September 2013, the first true prototype of Dash was built. That’s why we celebrate Dash’s birthday on September 13!
With prototype in hand, Wonder Workshop embarked on our first production run in January of 2014. We had to source materials, parts, and find the right partner to help us bring our vision to life.
