Edison is a programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years of age.
Edison helps deliver meaningful computational thinking, computer programming and 21st-century education in an engaging, hands-on way.
Designed for the classroom environment, Edison robots are durable, have no loose parts to manage, and thanks to their compact size, are easy to store. Edison works right out of the box, fully pre-built with all sensors ready to use. There’s no software to install or manage, making it easy to use Edison with different device types and platforms, including laptops, Chromebooks and tablets.
Edison’s robotic capabilities can be unlocked with ease through simple barcode programs. Children as young as four years old can begin to explore coding and robotics using the unique barcodes to activate pre-set programs.
Students can then progress through three different programming languages as their skills increase, working from icon-based drag-and-drop coding, through block-based coding and on to text-based programming.
Kit includes:
18 Edisons, 9 EdCreate, 18 IR Remotes, 1 carrying case, 3 USB key with Software, AAA Batteries and a custom-made aluminum carrying case for easy transportation and organization.
