User questions & answers

Question:	Is 3 too young for this product
Answer:	The product box says the globe’s scale is 1:43,000,000...we aren’t sure if that means topographically as well, our thought is no. Having said that, you can run you fingers along the globe and feel all of the mountain ranges. It’s a beautiful globe. When lighted and when not. The globe seems weighted and spins nicely under one’s fingers. We are pleased with this purchase.
Question:	What does it do
Answer:	This question is easily answered by measuring the circumference of the globe along the "equator": about 37.5 inches, give or take 0.2 inches, giving a low of 11.9 to a high of 12.0 inches. Since the string I used had some gives, I would opt for 12.0 inches. If the globe were advertised as 13" diameter, this would mean a circumference of about 40.8, a difference of 3.3inches, which my string could not possibly stretch by that much!
Question:	We purchased two botleys and the two remotes are controlling both botleys, which is hard for our 6 y/o twins. Can we change frequency
Answer:	Hy,I see Taiwan Dao,Taibei and the Taiwan strait sea. Abouth independens it's not written.
Question:	Code model doesnot work
Answer:	Yes, French is going live by the end of December 2018. All gifts opened after Christmas will definitely have French!

The coding robot can be connected via Bluetooth, controlled by a mobile phone APP, and can be remotely controlled by voice. In addition, the powerful master control can control the robot by pressing the buttons, and you can play without a mobile phone, and have fun anytime, anywhere. At the same time, when the sensitive sensor is programmed for it, it will also make corresponding actions according to your instructions, which is extremely fun.

Code Your Robot

Master control program by Scratch 3.0, which is designed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kids can move the modules with their’ fingers to program the robot easily. Different from the difficult professional programming codes, use graphics to make it easier for children to master programming knowledge, and can design their own programming, which can improve children's logical thinking. From now on, code your own robot.

Spend Fun Time With RobotMake

RobotMake has a main control unit, a built-in motor, an infrared sensor, and 370+ building blocks. It comes with 100+ pre-designed robots, a lot of fun. Children can play for months without repetition or boredom. The main control unit and power modules are compatible with major block brands, which allow children to build and create whatever they want. Not only build and play, children can also learn graphical programming to control the robot automatically.

Product description

Meet Sammy. This cute little Peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually a robot that teaches coding principles and skills to children in grades K-2. You don't need a tablet, smartphone, or computer to program this robot; programs are created by simply laying down a sequence of physical code cards. As the robot drives over the code cards, an oxide optical Scanner on the bottom of the robot reads the code cards one by one and loads The program. Next, place the robot on a grid made of map cards, and the robot runs the program. You can program the robot to move in different directions, activate its output gear, light up its LED, play sounds, and respond to different function cards. The integrated output gear makes it possible to build simple robotic creations with arms or other moving parts that respond according to the program's instructions. This robot kit also teaches physical engineering and problem solving skills through a series of building and coding lessons. The 30 lessons are aligned with standards for computer science Education developed by the computer science teachers association (crystal) and the International society for technology (site) education, as well as courses from code.Org. The lessons progress in complexity through the illustrated manual, allowing the kit to be appropriate for a child as young as four years with help from an adult and as old as eight years. The lessons cover These six key areas in coding: sequencing, loops, events, conditions, functions, and variables. In addition to Sammy, there are five other stories, Each with a Series of model-building and coding challenges and lessons related to it: a mouse moves through a maze to find cheese; a Penguin wanders around a zoo; a soccer player moves a ball into the goal; a fire truck puts out a fire; and a factory robot performs tasks in a factory scene. A full-color illustrated manual guides users through the Coding lessons and the assembly of the different models.

• Early STEM learning: an introduction to the fundamentals of coding and robotics for grades K-2.
• Unplugged: no software, apps, or smart devices required!
• Clear explanations: the 64-page, full-color experiment manual guides kids through the coding lessons and model building exercises.
• Story-based: six different storylines are included, each with a series of model-building and coding lessons, like a mouse moving through a maze to find cheese or a soccer player moving a ball into the goal!
• Correlated curriculum: The 30 coding lessons are aligned with the teaching standards developed by the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE), and Code.org
• A Parents' Choice Gold Award winner

Kids First Coding & Robotics

Meet Sammy. This cute little peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually a robot that teaches coding principles and skills to children in grades K-2. You don't need a tablet, smartphone, or computer to program this robot; programs are created by simply laying down a sequence of physical code cards. You can program the robot to move around, activate its output gear, light up its LED, play sounds, and more! Use the robots to complete coding challenges and learn the basics of programming.

Build Sammy (and other models!)

Follow the step-by-step visual instructions to construct a variety of models that appear throughout the storybook-style manual. In addition to Sammy, there are five other stories, each with a series of model-building and coding challenges and lessons related to it: a mouse moves through a maze to find cheese, a penguin interacts with other animals in a park, a soccer player moves a ball into the goal, a fire truck puts out fires, and a factory robot performs tasks in a factory scenario. All models use the same robotic base unit.

Write a program using cards (no device required!)

Each code card represents a different function or chunk of code that tells the robot what to do: move forward, turn left, play a sound, etc. You write a program by laying down a sequence of these code cards and having your robot drive over them one by one. While it does this, the OID sensor on the bottom of the robotic base unit scans a small pattern of dots that you can barely see printed on the cards. The robot records the sequence as a program.

Watch your robot run the program!

Once the robot has stored the program, you'll place it on a grid made of map cards that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and the robot will run the program you created! The optical scanner reads the map cards so the robot can always orient itself and interact with other objects and machines you build. There are 38 different map cards included, allowing you to run more complex programs once you get the hang of it!

Bonus Math Mode

A special math mode offers simple lessons in number comparisons, addition, variables, and algorithms for hands-on math explorations. Just switch the robotic base unit to math mode and program your robot in the same way as before, this time with the goal of solving specific math problems.

Level 1: Ages 3 to 5

Coding & Robotics is one of eight kits in the Kids First line that cater to preschool-aged children. The kits in Level 1 encourage pretend play through simple activities that answer 'How' and 'Why' questions and they include storybook-style manuals to guide children's scientific adventures.

Level 2: Ages 5 to 7

Level 2 kits, intended for children ages five to seven, include highly illustrated manuals that guide children through simple experiments to introduce them to the scientific method and basic scientific principles such as engineering, botany, physics, and much more.

Level 3: Ages 8 and up

The kits in Level 3 include complete illustrated manuals with serious experiments that result in a longer experience with the kit. The kits in this level cover three main areas of science: physics, chemistry, and biology, and offer in-depth explanations and lessons to guide children as they learn important scientific concepts.
