RoboPal is a new hands-on learning robot, specifically designed to teach and develop STEM skills, providing an introduction to programming code and robotics in an engaging and fun way.
RoboPal, which has launched this week via Kickstarter to earn the required $15,000 it needs to move into production.
The development team behind RoboPal explains more about its inspiration and features:
Meet ROBOPAL, the world's first programmable learning robot and magnetic coding block construction system. Using magnetic coding as a programming language, ROBOPAL turns complex coding languages into fun games. Simply combine the magnetic coding blocks to create commands for the robot and turn it into anything you can imagine! Above all, ROBOPAL stimulates a child's creativity and imagination, inspiring them to have fun while learning new, vital skills for their future, through play.
As we move towards a technology-driven economy, the importance of children developing a strong foundation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has never been greater. Parents with dreams of raising young high-tech innovators are eager to teach their children programming and coding concepts, but they can often be overwhelmed by difficult-to-understand concepts and boring texts. It’s never too early to introduce children to the basics of coding – you just have to do it in a fun way!
RoboPal is now available via Kickstarter with donations starting at just $129 and delivery is expected in February 2018. To see full specifications and get more information about the robot, head over to the official Kickstarter campaign page via the link below.
