Hamilton Buhl STEM/STEAM Edison Educational Robot Kit, Robotics & Coding, Lego Compatible, 30-Pack

Before the advent of the STEM/STEAM Edison Educational Robot Kit, learning about complex subjects like robotics, engineering, and coding was often abstract and theoretical. Now, with this innovative, interactive, and engaging educational tool, students can dive into the world of STEM and STEAM through hands-on learning and experimentation. This kit, compatible with Lego, opens up a world of endless building and coding possibilities, making it a fun and educational choice for students of all grade levels, from ages 5 and up.

The Edison Robot, aptly named to reflect an inventive spirit, is the result of a genuine passion for innovation. It's designed to make electronics, engineering, robotics, and programming accessible to as many people as possible. These Lego-compatible robots are clean, safe, reusable, expandable, and robust, offering a variety of combinations and possibilities.

Each Edison robot is equipped with a host of sensors, including left and right infrared obstacle detection for navigating through mazes, light sensors for following a flashlight or finding a dark corner, and a clap detector to sense loud sounds. The robot also features line tracking sensors to follow lines and stay within borders.

The robots can be programmed using a range of free software applications. EdBlocks, a fully graphical robot programming language, is perfect for introducing anyone to programming, especially students aged 8 to 12 years old. EdWare, a hybrid graphical robot programming software, combines drag-and-drop graphical icons with increased functionality from text-based entry. EdPy introduces the popular Python programming language in a fun and easy way.

Each Edison robot interacts with the world via infra-red (IR) transmitters and receivers, line tracking, barcode reading, playing sounds and music, plus sound detection. It's also equipped with two motors with variable speeds, left and right red LED lights, and three control buttons. One Edison can communicate with another over IR, and the units can also be programmed by and controlled with TV and DVD remotes.

These Lego-compatible robots are designed to provide learners with an opportunity to experiment and grow their knowledge, explore their imagination, cultivate their innovativeness, and have fun without expensive tools and excessive investment.

Please note: This product contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years old due to the potential choking hazard.
