Learning Resources Botley the Coding Robot

Product Information

This feature lets the kid's imagination loose into a world full of possibilities, which gives them a sense of accomplishment and boosts their confidence. Another importance of DIY projects is team building. Most of the DIY projects can not be done alone, and many times, children require the help of an elderly person to decode the instructions clearly or to install a complex piece safely.

If you’re looking to introduce your child to some basic elements of computer science but don’t want to pay the significant price tag often associated with coding toys, Galt Cosmic Coding is a fun, budget-friendly choice.Incorporate Botley into other STEM activities to reinforce learning, such as building obstacle courses or creating mazes. If you’re a parent of a child who likes electronic toys, then you know this song and dance – Botley needs batteries to work and they don’t come included. So come prepared if you’re buying this as a surprise – the last thing you need is to unwrap it and then scramble around ripping TV remotes apart trying to find batteries for it. The Coding Robot Crashin’ Construction Accessory Set– With a number of add ons to help turn Botley into various construction vehicles. It comes with six STEM activities and challenges

Overall, therefore, we think Botley is pretty reasonably priced for a beginners robot that will (hopefully) be the first step in your child’s journey of STEM exploration. What age is the Botley Robot appropriate for? While Botley the Coding Robot is focused on teaching coding skills, it also encourages creativity and imagination. With the detachable arms and obstacle pieces, children can create their own coding challenges and design unique courses for Botley to navigate. This open-ended play promotes creativity and allows children to explore their imagination. Building Confidence CUE Coding Robot is the perfect coding toy for kids 11 years and older. Unlike the other coding robots on this list (including Cue’s little brother - Dash) Cue is sophisticated enough for older kids and works to develop creative problem solving and computational thinking skills.
