Overview

A small robot kit designed to teach kids and beginners how programming actually works. It drives around, senses obstacles, follows lines, and obeys instructions you write in a friendly app. Great for STEM classrooms and at-home tinkerers.

What it does for you

A first-time programmer drags blocks of instructions in the app, sends them to the robot, and watches their code drive a real machine. As they get more confident, they graduate from blocks to real text-based code. The hardware is open, so kids can add their own sensors and parts as they learn.
