Dash & Dot Robots
Dash and Dot are programmable robots that interact with each other and use various sensors to detect obstacles and motions. Students will get a chance to plan their code, test it, evaluate if it works and problem-solve if it doesn’t! This is the next step beyond block coding online because there is an interactive component […]
Ozobot: Smart and social robot
Ozobot is a miniature smart robot that can follow drawn lines or roam around freely, detect colors and can also interface with all the popular programming languages (especially Python), and it has Bluetooth for downloading programs! With Ozobot students will have hands-on opportunities to learn about robotics and programming while working on STEM/STREAM (Science, Technology, […]
