The aim of this work is to develop a novel platform for STEM based education, to enhance the teaching process of ICT and automation. The target group of the proposed platform is students in ages ranging from 9-15 years old. The proposed system was based on the Hydra platform, a low-cost platform for STEM education, which has been used with encouraging results in the primary education. The main contribution of this work was the novel design which allowed the easy and intuitive assembly of robotic devices and simple automations, encouraging the creativity of the students. New modular components (with and without electronic parts) were developed and thoroughly tested in terms of functionality and robustness. All the aforementioned devices were created using 3D printing techniques.
