■ With ROBOTIS MINI, designed for classroom use
Based on the best-selling Robotis Mini, Edbot is inspiring kids to learn coding in schools and code clubs all over the world. Check out examples from the UK, Serbia, and Hungary.
Edbot runs on Windows, Raspberry Pi, and Mac. The software includes speech support and an innovative motion capture function for users to create their own movements. See more in the technical showcase.
Designed for classroom use, teaching resources are provided. To ensure that all students are engaged equally, the software also includes a unique multi-user function that allows teachers to assign control of robot to any PC on the network. The opportunity to take charge of robot using their own code provides everyone in the class with the incentive to complete code-writing tasks.
The same function allows different coding languages to be used simultaneously. Switching between Scratch and Python, for example, is as easy as switching from one user to another. This allows for side-by-side lessons for advancing students.
■ With ROBOTIS DREAM, best choice for home users
Edbot Dream helps kids develop coding skills, while having fun building robots and playing with them. You can build 20+ different robots from the same kit, and code each of them using Scratch, Python, and Javascript.
Edbot Dream can be used with Windows, Raspberry Pi, and Mac. See more in the technical showcase, and read about some of the technical challenges involved in creating Edbot Dream in Clive’s Blog.
