Edison V3.0 Robot

Edison V3.0 is the latest version of the popular programmable robot, designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students aged 4 to 16. V3.0 brings a significant number of new features and enhancements, making Edison an even more effective platform for engaging learners in any environment.

Edison V3.0 features an all-new rechargeable battery, which offers 60 minutes of uninterrupted driving time and is accessible for replacement when the internal battery reaches the end of its operational lifetime. Edison V3.0 connects directly to a computer via USB. The cable is attached to the underside of Edison and can be neatly tucked away when not in use.

The Edison robot is a powerful and engaging tool for teaching children computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way. With more built-in sensors than any robot in its class, as well as lights, sounds, and autonomous behavior capabilities, Edison makes true robotics education accessible to students of all ages.

Students can progress their robotics, coding, and STEM education journeys using Edison with three progressive programming languages (EdBlocks, EdScratch, and EdPy). Students can learn the fundamentals of coding as they progress from drag-and-drop icon-based programming to coding in a vertical text-based language.

Edison can also be used to build and invent as the programmable base for an incredible range of engineering and STEM projects, thanks to Edison’s expandable robotics system, which works with the EdCreate construction kit and any other LEGO brick-compatible building system.

Features:

• Teach children computational thinking and coding in a hands-on and intuitive way.
• Suitable for use with children from 4 to 16 years of age.
• Edison can respond to light and sound.
• It can also follow lines and avoid obstacles.
• Each Edison can communicate with other Edison robots.
• They can also be connected to other Edison robots and LEGO bricks.
• Code Edison via the headphone output on your Desktop/Laptop/Tablet/Phone.
• Three intuitive and progressive programming interfaces (EdBlocks, EdScratch, and EdPy).
• Free resources to support teachers and students in the classroom.
• Integrated rechargeable battery.
• Direct Programming via USB, with the cable attached and retractable for easy operation.
• Super affordability makes Edison V3.0 a powerful learning tool within the reach of educators worldwide.
