This is a educational construction kit assembled from various materials (plastic, metal, etc.).
Inspired by the fact that programming education is scheduled to become compulsory in elementary schools in Japan in 2020, Embot was born from the desire to give children a feeling of closeness to programming. Embot combines cardboard and electronic components to perform program operations on tablets and smartphones. Children's free thinking can enhance their imagination, and intuitive programming can develop their logical thinking ability.
Because Embot is made from cardboard, it's easy and safe to customize it! Using scissors and glue, you can assemble this robot while having fun with simple steps such as cutting, folding and inserting. The cardboard parts included in the kit will help you complete a cute bear! Of course, since Embot is freely customizable, you don't need to limit yourself to the cardboard included with the kit; you can create your own original robot using familiar items such as paper cups, empty boxes, and milk cartons!
Embot is operated by programming using apps installed on tablets and smartphones. The app allows you to freely choose the level, so you can gradually deepen your child's understanding according to their proficiency level. Embot is loads of fun for everyone from children completely new to programming, to those who are ready to challenge higher levels. It's easy to understand for beginners by using the "stacked blocks" method of programming instructions. Once kids get used to the block formula, they can learn about flowcharts, and experience full-scale programming such as "if = conditional branch" and "for = repeat." Since you can check how and when the program is executed, even youngsters can easily debug the program, which is great support for completing the program on their own. Best for youngsters six years of age and up. Order yours today!
