Hamilton Buhl STEM/STEAM Edison Educational Robot Kit, Robotics & Coding, Lego Compatible, 2-Pack

Let the Edison Educational Robot Kit by HamiltonBuhl ignite the spark of creativity and innovation in young minds with its engaging approach to STEM/STEAM learning. Designed to make complex subjects like robotics, engineering, and coding accessible and enjoyable, this kit is an essential tool for children aged 5 and up, aiming to bridge the gap in STEM education and prepare them for future high-demand careers.

The Edison Robot is a versatile learning platform that transforms abstract STEM concepts into tangible, hands-on experiences. With its compatibility with LEGO bricks, students can construct and customize their robots, enhancing their problem-solving skills and unleashing their imagination. The kit includes two Edison robots, allowing for collaborative projects and interactive learning experiences.

Each Edison robot is equipped with an array of sensors and interactive features:
- Infrared obstacle detectors on both sides for navigating mazes and avoiding obstacles.
- Light sensors for following light sources or locating darker areas.
- A clap detector to respond to loud noises, enabling sound-activated control.
- A line tracking sensor that not only follows lines but also reads barcodes to execute pre-programmed actions.

The robots' functionalities extend to light and sound interactions, with red LED lights on each side for visual effects, a buzzer for auditory feedback and musical notes, and two motors with variable speeds for precise movement control.

Programming the Edison robots is made simple and fun with three FREE software applications, catering to different skill levels:
- EdBlocks: A graphical programming language perfect for beginners, especially those aged 8 to 12.
- EdWare: A hybrid graphical and text-based software for those ready for the next level of programming.
- EdPy: A text-based programming environment using Python, ideal for teaching real-world coding skills.

Communication between Edison robots is seamless, thanks to built-in infrared transmitters and receivers, allowing for complex interactions and cooperative tasks. They can also be controlled using standard TV and DVD remote controls, making the learning process even more engaging.

Each robot is powered by AAA batteries, ensuring that the learning never stops. The Edison Robot Kit is not just a learning tool; it's an adventure in robotics that encourages students to explore, experiment, and excel in STEM/STEAM subjects.

Please note: The Edison Educational Robot Kit contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years old due to a potential choking hazard.
