And what better way to learn about basic programming than with a physical coding robot that acts out your commands in the real world! This clever 5 in 1 Mechanical Coding Robot introduces you to a new concept of coding, without a computer or app! That's right, your robot is not reliant on smart devices like tablets or computers to operate. Instead, it uses a "coding wheel" with buttons that snap on and off to dictate its movement and actions! Code your robot in 5 different ways to complete fun activites such as drawing, kicking a ball, gripping, throwing and lifting! It's a great entry-level STEM that is designed to inspire young users to learn about mechanical engineering and coding basics. So, instead of being tethered to a smart phone or iPad, why not swap out all the screen time for some robot time?! Use the easy-to-follow instructions to assemble the plastic pieces for a truly remarkable educational experience! Recommended for ages 8 and up. Requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included).
