15 Robots Classroom Pack - Robotics for K8
From block-based coding to Javascript, k8 is your best friend for discovering the wonderful world of robotics. The k8 robot is powered by the BBC micro:bit, making k8 easily shareable among students.
BUILD
k8 is fun and easy to build! Follow along with our step by step tutorials to assemble k8 from scratch in less than 30 minutes.
CODE
Learning to code has never been easier! k8 is powered by micro:bit and Microsoft MakeCode to allow students to start with block coding and work their way up to Javascript. The programming software is completely cloud-based and runs like a breeze on a Chromebook.
SHARE
Using micro:bit makes it easy for groups of 3 or even 4 to share the use of the robot and iterate on their own code! No more tethering to the computer, take your code to k8.
