Not just your average coding robot
The Root® rt1 coding robot’s combination of features and sensors appeal to students of all interests.
Children can code Root® to draw artwork, scan colours, play music, respond to touch, light, and sound, and climb whiteboard walls, all while exploring the fundamentals of robotics. Students and Teachers can use the Root® to combine the content and skills from multiple interdisciplinary subjects into one learning experience.
3 Learning Levels
Propel learning forwards with additional, standards-aligned premium content that is available with a subscription to Root® Academy.
Easy for beginners, but still challenging enough to keep experienced coders engaged. Students begin with Graphical coding at Level 1, where graphical blocks teach the essential coding logic skills. Next, at Level 2, students advance to hybrid coding, where hybrid drag and drop language builds computational fluency. Finally at Level 3, students will learn the structure and syntax of professional, full text coding languages in Swift- Python and JavaScript coming soon!
