Tinkerbots Education Expert Set (00121 and 00152)

A programming education pack accessible to pupils aged 10 and above

This Education Expert Set teaches pupils in secondary schools, and even children in their last year of primary school, how to assemble and program a robot. The kit consists of various cubes serving different functions, in addition to motors, wheels and robotic actuators. It allows budding robotics engineers to create different types of more or less complex robots.

The set includes a 5-in-1 sensor allowing each robot to react to its environment. It can for example evaluate distances, differentiate between colours and even sense movements.

What can you teach with this Tinkerbots set?

This kit comes with the Tinkerbots robotics programming app inspired by Blockly. Its intuitive visual interface makes it easier for pupils to understand how algorithms work. Children with more advanced knowledge will be able to explore coding possibilities in Python.

As for teachers, they benefit from a complete set of teaching materials for organising several hours of lessons to teach children how a robot works, including some programming challenges.
