Exploring Robotics with mTiny (Grades PK-2)
Children tap the easy to hold pen controller and use picture cards to control the robot movement. mTiny receives instructions and starts moving, then identifies locations and responds to the interactive map. The innovative tap-to-code interaction system and interesting storybook drive kids’ interest in learning. This is multi-sensory learning: no external mobile phones or tablets are required to work with mTiny, making it a screen free coding solution. mTiny enables children to engage different senses to increase attention and explore the world around them. mTiny comes with a tap pen controller and an interactive map which distinguish it from other products. They are easy to use. Combined with a range of coding games for different levels, this remote controlled robot kit interacts with young children to spark their passion for discovery and learning. Cross-curricular Content: mTiny Curricula introduces young children to math and music. Designed (in alignment) with modern educational philosophies, mTiny finds a better way to spark children's curiosity for knowledge and develop their logical thinking from an early age. The Curricula lessons include Math, Language Arts, and Coding, as well as Physical, Cognitive, and Socio-emotional competencies.

Exploring Robotics with Cubelets (Grades K-4)
Each block provides a different function: a power block provides energy for each creation, other blocks provide sound, motion, lights, and sensors for proximity, light and sound. Given a question, they answer with their creation. Proudly then they describe what they created, telling a story of how and why it works. Although these blocks were designed for elementary grade levels we have watched high school students create for hours with them, exploring different possibilities with Legos and other blocks. Cubelets activities introduce and reinforce many STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) lessons for grades K-5.Children learn with cubes that snap together magnetically to make a robot that moves, senses, thinks, and communicates. Any child will be engaged to pick them up and snap them together to see what happens and what they can create. They use the attachments to connect to their Lego blocks and have hours and hours of building fun. These are very rugged smart cubes that can be used by multiple siblings and multiple classes year after year: making them exceptionally cost effective.

Exploring Robotics with Dash and Dot (Grades K-4)
Dash also has accessories like a Ball launcher (great fun) and a xylophone (program Dash to play music), a pen holder (to make drawings), and a gripper (to put away those stuffed animals!). Dash is smart enough to respond to voices and sounds and can dance and sing, which makes for a fun and interactive learning experience for kids. Dash will help kids learn, laugh, and grow. All children love this incredibly cute and engagingly animated character robot, and they love to make fun sounds, flash lights, change colors of lights, follow a path, and more. They first use Apps to control the robot and then use Blockly code to program the robot. Exploring Robotics and Wonder Workshop Curriculum lessons introduce students to coding, and are adaptable to different age groups. Girls love these robots; shortly after being introduced to them they are engaged in coding the robots, making up stories, and learning while having fun. When kids get together they can share for hours what they are creating. The Apps make it simple to get started, excel through lessons and grasp coding concepts.These adorable robots are rugged and can be used by multiple siblings and multiple groups year after year: making them a wonderful value. Designed for kids 6+.

Exploring Robotics with Codey Rocky (Grades 4-7) Students use Scratch block-based code to control movement, messaging, play music,communicate, follow lines, use sensors, and create games. Use tablets, chromebooks, or laptops for coding - there are Apps available for each. STEAM curriculum with Codey-Rocky makes it easy to introduce coding and explore science. Space adventures lessons are where students turn Codey into a rocket, then a spaceship, and then a mars rover to roam the planet, search for minerals, and build a mars base. Cross-curricula STEM lessons for coding with engineering include reading, writing, math, and science. Students measure, use number lines, and calculate to complete coding activities. They learn physical science properties of LEDs, light and sound waves, energy, communication, collecting data, and modeling for science. They use the engineering design process for creating applications where the robot is solving a problem.

mTiny is a perfect educational robot for kids aged 4+ to learn STEAM concepts. To spark the interest of preschool-aged children, mTiny offers fun interactive games to foster their logical thinking and problem solving skills.
Remember wooden blocks and all that could be made from them? Cubelets ”Building Blocks with brains” are the blocks of today that a child can combine in almost endless possibilities to build their own creation. While creating they begin to think like an artist and engineer, problem solve and use critical thinking.
One of the many superlatives used to describe Dash is "adorable". Speak and Dash turns to face you. Then he says the cutest things such as "I see you" and "Whoa". Use the fun Apps to make sounds like a horn, cow, elephant or you can record your own voice and Dash will play it back for you. The Free Apps are easy to use to teach coding lessons that introduce critical thinking, problem solving, the scientific method, algorithms, loops, conditionals, variables, and more. 
Ozobot Evo, “the world’s smallest programmable robot”, senses lines of different colors and color sequences. Young children first learn to control them by drawing lines and colored sequences. Kids can cause the robot to dance, follow a maze, spin, flash lights, make sounds, and race about while they apply math and science concepts. They progress to coding the robot with a simple app on a tablet or smartphone, learning to code with OzoBlockly (a puzzle-like coding language).
Codey Rocky is a treasure trove of fun right out of the box, that plays music, follows light, mimics facial expressions and much more with easy coding. Empower children with the skills to turn their imagination into reality and experience the delight of their achievement.

Exploring Robotics with Scribbler Robot (Grades 4-7)
Girls and boys delight in programming these robots to draw, dance the Hokey Pokey (or other dance routines) with lights, and other science and math lessons disguised as fun projects. Videos present math topics like calculating diameter, radius, and drawing rectangles, triangles, and other shapes. Science video topics include sound waves, light, LEDs, and electricity. Students self study coding with the graphical programming language (similar to scratch). No assembly required for the robot, making it easy to use year after year.

Scribbler robot has a pen port; children use different colored pens and program scribbler to create their own drawings. Each child can express their artistic and programming skills by having Scribbler draw their creation. Scribbler also can be programmed to make music and dance. But to do so, children must use measurements, geometry, and some algebraic equations. So they use their math to draw. Imagine an event in which children, bring their scribblers and come together to define and create a team choreographed scribbler dance.
