GinoBot™ is a highly programmable robot ready to be used straight out of the box. Developed by a high-level research team of engineers and academics, GinoBot™ is a unique tool for teaching STEM disciplines, computational thinking and digital literacy with fun and hands-on experiential activities. The body of GinoBot™ has numerous built-in ENGINO® connecting geometries so that students can expand their robot with structural and mechanical parts, making more advanced models. Teachers can follow STEM interdisciplinary activities and apply inquiry-based learning methodologies to engage and inspire their students. The vehicle’s powerful processor connects with USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and can be programmed with KEIRO, but also Python and C++ once a Micro:bit or Arduino are installed. The 4-wheeled robot can have its tires converted to a cat-truck and is surrounded by three proximity sensors. It has two floor color sensors and two encoder motors for precise motion.Suggested for students working in groups of 3 or 4.
