The Kio Kit
Transforming any school into a digital classroom
The Kio Kit is a simple and elegant solution made up of 40 Kio tablets, a BRCK, wireless tablet charging to reduce breakage, and a hardened, water-resistant, lockable case. There is a single plug used to charge the kit and one button to power on the entire system. A lighter technology footprint with an intuitive interface designed for children, the tablet can run multimedia content, has enough battery to manage the intermittent power in rural areas and ruggedized to reduce breakage. Kio tablets are locked to prevent theft and ensure digital child safety.
