Brainybot: The hands-on coding robot
Computer Science students don’t need to sit in front of screens all day! There's something magical that happens when a student writes a line of code and sees a real, physical robot do exactly what the code told it to do.
Brainybot is designed to teach computer science fundamentals using either JavaScript, Python, or a Scratch-like block coding language. The accompanying curriculum has modules that slot into the existing CSTA standards for middle schools, and the code.org AP CSP curriculum for high schools. Each student gets their own robot. At the end of the course, students can compete in a robotic sumo-wrestling competition.
This store listing is for the robot only, but classroom kits are available! Classrooms receive included curriculum materials, teacher training, an online environment for students to write their code on, and a minimum 15% bulk discount, or higher for large classrooms.

The Brainybot is NOT a kit. It is a finished product. Students do not build the robots: instead they just program them. This means they are able to last for years, with no restocking or cleanup required!
