Build your own robot using the mBot kit from Makeblock. mBot is based on Arduino, a popular microcontroller used in many DIY (Do It Yourself) electronic projects. With different add-on packs, you can create your own unique bot.
Program your bot using a Scratch-like visual environment called mBlock. In no time at all, you will be able to control and manuever your bot and have it interact with you. Your child can be the next great engineer and inventor!
Since each child will have their own mBot, it becomes personal since they will have built and worked with this robot for the entire class. This course has an optional fee to purchase the mBot and add-on LED Matrix 8x16. By doing this, you will be able to take the robot home after each class to practice on their own. After the course, they can continue programming with the free apps online.
