Description

An intuitive, state-of-the-art building and robotics kit for serious engineers and makers! Packed with hundreds of durable, reusable components, and designed for both home and school use, this comprehensive and engaging curriculum gives young learners the tools to explore the field of robotic engineering like never before. The kit begins with instructions to build 14 simple motorized robots with sensors that can control the robots. With over one hundred snap- together, versatile building pieces, kids can also construct new robots of their own design! Once you’ve built your robots, you’ll add code to program them and bring them to life. Robotics Workshop utilizes the award-winning micro:bit, a tiny computer that kids can program using the free web or app- based platform MakeCode. Through MakeCode, kids can begin their coding journey with easy-to-understand visual block-based coding, and then stretch themselves to learn the most relevant coding languages of the tech industry: Python and JavaScript. A 32-page full-color manual and tons of online resources feature step-by-step illustrated building instructions and explanations for how to program and operate the robot models. Also needed: a tablet running iOS or Android and/or a PC with Internet access. MakeCode is free and web-based, so there are no PC system requirements.

    • Inredible!
Style: With Micro: Bit
I am very impressed! My daughter and her Godsiblings, ages 11 to 14, put it together. Not only did they work together, but they were very proud of presenting it. Watching them work together and figure this out was amazing. I have to say, it provided enough of a challenge for them but wasn't too hard for them to lose interest. This is the most important part to me. Many times, those are either too easy or way too difficult. But this one, everyone agrees, was lots of fun, and everyone got to use their brain, as the kids told me. I would highly recommend it! ... show more

    • My son loves this awesome kit!
Style: With Micro: Bit
What an awesome kit from Thames and Kosmos! My 13 year old son has been very interested in coding and robotics for as long as I can remember, so I knew this set would be a perfect gift for him. My son was super excited and instantly dug into the box. It's easy enough for him to figure out and do on his own, but hard enough to be a challenge. I love seeing him work with this kit, it amazes me how smart he is. He says it has been a lot of fun and makes him want even more kits like this one to do in the future. It came packaged well and everything was in working order, and all pieces were there. It's pretty pricey, but worth it to gift a child who has a real interest in Robotics. Very satisfied! ... show more

    • Great Robotics STEM Kit
Style: With Micro: Bit
The Thames & Kosmos Robotics Workshop with Micro:Bit STEM Experiment Kit is really awesome. It's great for older kids and teens that are interested in coding and robotics. If your kids have played with Legos and Technics, this would be an upgrade to that, since you can now build and operate different robotics and learn about coding along the way. Being able to learn about open-source coding and being introduced to Python & JavaScript is a great part of this set. You can upload your code to the micro:bit hardware that is the centerpiece of any of the experiments. Overall, there are 20 different experiments to try and up to 14 different unique robots to build. The instructions are clear and easy to follow along as well. ... show more

    • Great kit that will keep your child busy for months!
Style: With Micro: Bit
This kit is great for intermediate to advanced learners. You've got physical building of the kit, and the programming side as well. There's so many building options available that they won't get bored. You will need a laptop to program the kit for each of the projects. They provide a scan code to use to download the code for each project. I'd advise downloading all the project code into local directories so that you'll have them available at the ready when needed. I can't say enough good things about this kit, other than it will take a parent and child with the skill set to make it work. Without downloading the code, it won't do anything. We've had it for several months and still enjoying it regularly. I highly recommend it! ... show more

    • Exactly what I was hoping for
Style: With Micro: Bit
I always feel like coding passed me by. I was in a generation where it wasn't mainstream to learn to program after the 7th grade intro stuff. Now it seems like everyone under 25 can do it. I was very happy to get this for my family. The kids now have a tool that allows them to learn from a prefab plan, figure out how to do some (what appears to me to be) mostly logic based stuff. They've been using legos and technics (real and otherwise) for several years. This just feels like the next logical progression. The kit has tons of parts. Once they're done with the included designs they made me promise to let the do their own. This set has Christmas Gift written all over it. It will be the cool gift. ... show more

    • Awesome STEM kit for young robotics enthusiasts
Style: With Micro: Bit
I am super impressed with this Thames & Kosmos Robotics Workshop kit. It's a fantastic introduction to robotics and coding for kids (and adults like me who love to learn alongside them). The kit includes durable, reusable building pieces and various sensors, allowing you to construct unique robots. The star of the show is the micro:bit, a tiny computer that serves as an excellent first microcontroller for budding programmers. What I really love is the use of the MakeCode platform for programming. It's accessible on any device through a web app, making it easy to use whether you're at home or in a classroom setting. The curriculum does a great job of introducing kids to real-world coding languages like Python and JavaScript. The educational value here is outstanding. It's not just about building cool robots (though that part is awesome) - it's a comprehensive introduction to programming concepts, problem-solving, and creative thinking. While the price point might seem high at first glance, the quality of the materials, the depth of the curriculum, and the potential for ongoing learning and experimentation make it worth the investment for serious young engineers or makers. Overall, this kit has become a favorite in our household. It's engaging, educational, and provides hours of creative fun. Highly recommended for any family or classroom looking to dive into the world of robotics and coding. ... show more
