Tale-Bot Pro
Tale-Bot Pro by Matatalab is an interactive coding robot that offers a total of 256 different commands. This adorable robot introduces your child to the foundational concepts of coding and programming, fostering engineering thinking along the way. Each Tale-Bot Pro kit includes one Tale-Bot robot, a double-sided interactive map, a language configuration card, and a challenge booklet. To get started, simply charge the robot using the included cord (you'll need a USB charging block), then set up the interactive map on a flat, clean surface. Your child can explore various coding commands and begin programming the robot in multiple ways. They can use the maps, their voice, or the buttons on top of the robot to input and create code. With Tale-Bot Pro, there are endless opportunities for exploration, including the introduction of new languages. As your child inputs code, they’ll see the lights on the robot illuminate, visualizing how the code runs in real-time. This engaging and creative challenge promotes programming, coding, and engineering thinking, all contributing to a deeper understanding of microelectronics. -Reviewer Hannah Garcia
