Robotics: Smart Machines —Junior offers young learners an engaging introduction to robotics by allowing them to build and program their very own robotic companion. This hands-on kit blends physics, engineering, and computer science into an exciting, approachable experience designed specifically for kids. Once assembled, Junior can be programmed directly from its built-in keypad or through a free app available for iOS and Android devices.
The robot's microcontroller, or "brain," connects to its LED-lit eyes, speaker, dual motors, and battery, helping kids understand how each component contributes to Junior's abilities. Users can steer Junior with a remote control or gyroscope mode, and code its behavior using a simple, block-based visual programming interface within the app. An interactive game within the app even lets kids pretend they're running a robot repair shop, adding imaginative fun to the learning process.
A full-color, 32-page illustrated manual walks users step-by-step through assembly and use. Junior requires a tablet or smartphone for app access.
