STEM Robotics R1 – PreSchool SET

STEM Robotics R1 – PreSchool SET

The STEM Robotics R1 – PreSchool SET is designed for children aged 4 and above, aiming to develop practical skills in logical analysis, creativity, and problem-solving through hands-on experience with basic engineering, electronics, control logic, and computer science. When paired with the R1.bit app, suitable for tablets and mobile devices, students can easily guide the robot in various activities.

The robot features ready-made tests that reward users with sound or light indicators, enhancing kindergarten children’s understanding of different concepts and quantities. Additionally, it offers interactive and educational activities that help children explore the robot’s full range of capabilities, laying the foundation for learning programming and robotics.

A unique feature of the robot is a special slot on its back for a water marker, enabling it to draw alphanumeric characters or simple geometric shapes on a designated activity surface.

Recognized as suitable educational material for preschool education in STEM-Robotics skills workshops by the Hellenic Ministry of Education, the robot is an excellent tool for early learning. Through the Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit online platform, available in Greek, users can also create their own engaging programming projects for the robot.
