The ultimate Robotics Workshop: build, code, and control real robots!

With hundreds of durable components and professional-grade sensors, kids build actual functioning robots that see, hear, move, and respond to their environment!

Start by building 14 different robot models following the detailed instructions, then use the snap-together pieces to design completely original robots. Each creation gets its brain from the included micro:bit, which is a pocket-sized computer packed with sensors that measure light, temperature, movement, sound, and magnetic fields. Your robots can literally see obstacles coming, hear commands, and react to their surroundings!

Using the free MakeCode platform, kids start with simple drag-and-drop visual coding blocks, then graduate to real programming languages like Python and JavaScript, the same languages used by professional developers. Upload your code via USB or wirelessly through Bluetooth and watch your robot come to life!

The kit includes everything needed for advanced robotics: ultrasonic sensors for obstacle avoidance, precision servo motors for accurate movements, powerful drive motors for locomotion, and rechargeable batteries for extended play sessions. The 32-page manual gets you started, while extensive online resources provide endless project ideas and programming challenges.

This works with any device; tablet, phone, Chromebook, or PC  since MakeCode runs in your web browser. No special software to install, no compatibility issues.

Key Features:

  • Professional Components: Includes micro:bit computer, ultrasonic sensors, servo motors, and rechargeable batteries
  • Real Programming Education: Progress from visual blocks to Python and JavaScript coding
  • 14 Guided Builds Plus Unlimited Custom Designs: Hundreds of snap-together pieces for endless creativity
