The Thymio II mobile robot is a small robotics platform designed for teaching that’s equipped with numerous sensors allowing it to follow or avoid a black line, slalom between different obstacles and follow, or even draw, its user’s hand!
100% open-source and very affordable, this robot is programmed using a VPL (Visual Programming Language) developed by Aseba Studio.
In order to show children what their robot is capable of and help them take their first steps in robotics programming, the project’s creators have developed various Thymio accessories, including this Maison d'Ailleurs Discovery Kit for Thymio II Robot.
These different items are used in various games and fun challenges for Thymio II users, designed to teach them the robotics platform’s different features and provide programming examples while having fun.
Whether you want to introduce your child to robotics or create a true robotics course for your students, you’ll be able to count on its comprehensive and totally open-source teaching materials (in French).
The Maison d'Ailleurs Discovery Kit for Thymio II Robot includes 6 challenges that have been developed for budding robotics engineers wishing to take their first steps in the world of programming with the Aseba Studio VPL.
The kit includes:
