Robotics: Light Show
MakerKids
The Arduino is a prototyping microcontroller popular with both hobbyists and professionals. Kids learn to use a breadboard to wire up circuitry the Arduino can connect to, and then to program their robot to interact with their lights and switches creating their very own customized light show.
Phidgets
Using your very own Phidget kit, build a circuit and control it using block coding techniques.
Robotics: Robotic Pets
MakerKids
Using the Microbit microcontroller, kids learn the basics of controlling electricity while making robots into their own interactive pets. For more experienced makers the functionality they can add to what their pet can do grows increasingly complex.
