Meet Pro-Bot, the programmable robot that brings coding to life for curious kids ages 7 and up! Designed by Terrapin, this friendly car-shaped robot teaches sequencing, logic, and problem-solving through hands-on exploration. Children start by using simple directional buttons to make Pro-Bot move and turn, then progress to more advanced programmable commands that add light, sound, and interactive behavior. You can even insert a marker so Pro-Bot can draw its path, blending art and technology. This balance of creativity and coding makes Pro-Bot a favorite among educators and parents alike. It’s durable, engaging, and perfectly suited for classrooms or at-home learning. If you’re searching for a gift that sparks curiosity and builds critical thinking, Pro-Bot is a reliable companion on any young coder’s learning journey. -Reviewer Hannah Garcia
