This Wonder Workshop Wonder Pack puts the A back in STEAM by including Sketch Kit, the harness and marker which turn the award-winning Dash Robot into a drawing machine. Also included are a Launcher, the Gripper Building Kit, and a pair of Building Brick Connectors - it's the perfect way to get the full suite of accessories!
Using one of Wonder Workshop's free apps, like Blockly or Wonder, kids ages 6-11 can program Dash to move, sing, dance, flash its lights, respond to voices, make sounds, and even tell a story. Dash does not contain a camera. An internet connection is not required when using the apps on a mobile device, like an iPad or Android tablet. An internet connection is required to download and install the apps and to use Blockly for the web on a laptop. <span style=""font-weight: 400;"">Children learn coding concepts like sequencing, events, loops, algorithms, operations, and variables through self-directed play and guided challenges.
