Toys are always an essential for the positive development of every child element. Many toys are constantly being created. However, in 2013 when Filippo Yacob received the news that would become dad, his career took a forceful twist, as being a father, was enough to start a career path dedicated to making toys to educate reason.
At that time Yacob and his partner Matteo Loglio, made the decision to invent and make toys with technology, but education based on it. Of all the ideas that were raised inventors born a wooden cube with a small smile called Cubetto, the robot can be easily programmed for a child of three years.

The partners wanted to create something that educate technology, but made of wood, a bit rudimentary, but had no screen only letters and symbols, this could be something radical. However, the company was Primo Toys, was in charge of this project materialize, giving the toy perfection.
In that sense, Filippo stated: "To program Cubetto, the child has a schedule table in which insert simple directions (forward, right, left) that come in the form of colored chips. If the child program a sequence sense, Cubetto executes and moves, say, forward and to the right. The table is an abstraction of the fundamental principles behind programming and writing code, but in a fun and manually, that is attractive for someone three years. "
The creation of this toy, which has traveled more than 90 countries worldwide, generated large revenues to its creators, and the company that sponsored them, which shows that the KickStart campaign, so called, is a success . So much so that yacob is always attentive to the negative criticism that can receive the toy, but so far everyone who acquires feel satisfied.
