The mBot-S is one elementary robotics tool that’s perfect for students who want to build a robot before coding. For any educators throughout the K–8 grades, it’s a great tool for incorporating STEAM experiences into activities that highlight creative development as kids enjoy valuable experience with engineering and collaborating while building a real robot from scratch.
Integrating coding and robotics in any classroom is a popular and effective approach to offering children of all ages a real-world STEM education. One of the best options for doing so involves programming with the mBot-S, an engineerable robot that’s compatible with various entry-level languages, so kids can explore computer science in elementary, middle, or high school.
We are pleased to announce we’ve awarded our tech grant for October to Josh Jennings, who’s a high school teacher in the Florence County School District 3! Josh helps head up their Panther CODE (Creating Opportunities for Developing Engineers) program after school, which was established to give some underrepresented students more exposure to STEM.
We’ve added six new tools from Makeblock to our store and they are ready to help educators enhance their STEM teaching. Among these new options are a couple of add-on packs for students to invent and code with the tried and true mBot-S and mBot Ranger in different ways, a remote control for a new way of controlling the robots, and two entirely new kits as well.
Makeblock’s mBot is one of the best educational robot kits for beginners on the market. Unlike most robots, students build this one from scratch, bolstering their engineering skills and getting into the inner workings and electronics involved with robotics. Designed for students in grades 1-7, the mBot is easy to assemble and a great entry-level robotics tool!
Want to build something and experience the fun of seeing it in action immediately? Then you want the mBot in your life! Ideal for early STEM education, mBot is a great toy that helps kids master the tricks of creative assembly and its built-in Arduino board helps them explore basic circuitry as well. It’s super easy for students to build the mBot.
