Wonder Workshop Dot Robot - Best Way to Learn Coding

Published on Oct 1, 2015

At Wonder Workshop, we know that the best way for younger children to learn coding is with a physical device to control. Dot is the brain, the smarts of a robot and lets your child learn programming at a price level never reached before. Dot takes kids on coding adventures opening their eyes to how the world around them works. Dot combines a variety of personality elements (eye, lights, sounds) and sensors (buttons, accelerometer, microphones) to become an incredible coding companion and teaching tool for young learners.

Unlike some robotics products that need hours of assembly, Dot comes pre-assembled and ready to play. Once you install Blockly and Wonder on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, you child will have fun challenge tutorials that will teach them programming -- while they’re having fun making games for Dot! With over 600 tutorials, challenges, and projects in the apps, children transform Dot into a flying spaceship, a funny fortune teller, or even an electronic instrument. As they explore at their own pace, kids start to understand how devices in their everyday lives work as they Dot opens their eyes to what coding can do. And since the challenges are built into the apps, your child can learn at their own pace - no expensive robot camps needed!

If you have Dash, a complete robot, you can use Dot to control Dash with our Blockly app – shake Dot and make Dash move, or hide Dot in the room and program Dash with Blockly to look for and do something once its sensors detect Dot.

Wonder Workshop apps work on smartphones and tablets that support Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 2.0). A full list of compatible Apple and Android devices can be found here.

Get Dot today, and get your child the best tool possible to learn coding - with a robot!
