Robotics Smart Machines Junior

Are you looking for a fun, hands-on way to introduce a child to robotics and programming? The Robotics Smart Machine Junior by Thames & Kosmos is the perfect STEM kit for budding engineers! This buildable and programmable robot doesn’t require a smartphone or computer to get started, making it an ideal way for children to learn the basics of robotics, engineering, and coding. Children will begin by constructing their very own robot, using 150 different pieces. Once built, they can program Junior’s movements and actions using simple easy to access buttons. For children who want to take their programming skills even further, the Junior app can be downloaded onto a tablet or smartphone, allowing them to code up to 200 different actions! Plus, children can even use their device as a gyroscope to control Junior’s movements, adding an interactive, real-time element. The Robotics Smart Machine Junior encourages critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving in children—all while having fun with a robot they built and control themselves! – Reviewer Kayla Phillips
