Dash Robot summary: Using one of Wonder Workshop’s free apps, like Blockly or Wonder, kids ages 6-11 can program Dash to move, sing, dance, flash its lights, respond to voices, make sounds, and even tell a story. Dash does not contain a camera. Using the apps, children learn coding concepts like sequencing, events, loops, algorithms, operations, and variables through self-directed play and guided challenges. Kids can watch their virtual coding turn into tangible learning experiences in real time as Dash, with its performance and multiple sensors, interacts with and responds to its surroundings.

Gripper Building kit summary: The Gripper Building Kit is an easy-to-construct set of functioning arms that expand your robots’ capabilities. Build the mechanical arms for hands-on learning of gears, levers, and axles. Master more robotics skills by simulating real-world object detection and manipulation using your robots’ sensors and motors through code or manual remote control. The Gripper arms will lift, carry, pull, pick up, and place a variety of lightweight objects for endless play and DIY challenges.

Sketch kit summary: Sketch Kit is our robot accessory that enables kids to visualize the results of their code on a large canvas. The harness attaches the dry-erase markers (included) to the robot so that when the robot moves around over a piece of paper or whiteboard, the markers draw a line demarcating those moves. Sketch Kit helps kids express their creativity and exercise critical thinking and spatial reasoning skills as they draw geometric shapes, patterns, words, and more.

Launcher for Dash summary: This fun accessory transforms your Dash robot into a projectile-launching machine. Because it's powered by Dash robot, kids can learn how simple machines like a lever works and they will also learn about trajectories. Launcher for Dash robot comes with three projectiles and six stacking targets that can attach to LEGO®-compatible bricks (not included) to build intricate targets. You can also set up a hoop or use a cup and let Dash robot shoot baskets from a distance.

This Dash Robot kit contains an app-based, friendly robot that offers a variety of programming tools on the included iPad. This set comes with the Gripper, Sketcher, and Launcher kits available for the Dash Robot. The only thing you will need to have fun is paper for using the sketcher kit.
