Botley 2.0 the Coding Robot Activity Set

Meet the next generation of coding fun! Botley® 2.0 is the exciting upgrade to the wildly popular Botley® robot, and we’re officially obsessed with the new 2.0 version. 

Botley® 2.0 makes coding logic easy and approachable for kids. Your child can create sequences of commands for movement, lights, sounds, and actions, then sit back and watch the robot follow the instructions step by step.  
Back in the day, coding meant typing long, complicated computer commands that looked like complete gibberish to everyone else. Now? Coding has become wonderfully hands-on and kid-friendly. With Botley® 2.0, creating code is as simple as pressing buttons to build a sequence and sending the robot off on its next mission.

The included coding cards make it easy for kids to plan and visualise their coding sequences before pressing start. 

And Botley® 2.0 has plenty of personality built in. It can make fun sounds like a police car or a train, perform clever obstacle-avoiding manoeuvres, follow a black line, and light up in different colours. It even lights up automatically in the dark. 

Botley® 2.0 makes coding feel more like playtime than learning, and that’s exactly why kids love it. 
Getting started is easy. All you need are 3 AAA batteries for Botley® 2.0, 2 AAA batteries for the remote programmer, and a screwdriver —then your little coder is ready for action. Includes: 

• Botley® 2.0 robot
• Remote programmer
• Robot arms
• 40 coding cards
• 6 double-sided boards
• 27 obstacle building pieces
• A guide with fun coding challenges

Here, essential skills are stimulated, which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Supports and develops your child's logical reasoning.
• Stimulates your child's understanding of cause and effect, which is the understanding that something (the cause) leads to something else (the effect).

Suitable for ages 5 yrs. to 10 yrs.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and the concept covers diverse types of play and activities which combine play and learning with an interdisciplinary approach. The conventional boundaries between natural science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are removed, and your child learns through playing and experimenting.

Do you know Learning Resources?

Providing children with materials that make learning fun is essential for Learning Resources - as their name implies.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is at the centre at Learning Resources. Among other things, your child can learn to build robots, code, do experiments, and explore their world. For teachers and educators, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Sorting animals, coding dinosaurs, and math games can really shake things up in the classroom.
