Robotics isn’t just for professional techies or savvy kids! No matter your level, this kit can give you and your audiences a taster of a few different types of robots, with activities for early learners all the way to adults!

Suitable for ages 6+

*This kit is not a Curriculum aligned resource.

The kit contains three Blue-Bot robots, four mBots and four Spheros. They have varying levels of complexity, and are a perfect way to explore some simple robots without having to invest in a whole lot of new tech. The kit also contains some guided STEM activities for you to help scaffold the learning and fun for your participants.

Activities include:

  • Driving Spheros around a racing track, or programming them to draw a shape
  • Immersive storytelling with The Very Hungry Blue-Bot
  • mBot robo-soccer
  • Ambulance-bot, Follow-me-bot and Obstacle-avoiding-bot coding challenges

Note that to use mBots or Spheros, you will require devices that are not included (eg. tablets/iPads/phones). Blue-Bots don’t require any additional equipment.
