mBot Explorer Kit
SKU: P1050015/P1010045
mBot is a STEAM education robot for beginners, that makes teaching and learning robot programming simple and fun. With just a screwdriver, the step by step instructions, and a study schedule, children can build a robot from scratch and experience the joys of hands-on creation. As they go, they will learn about a variety of robotic machinery and electronic parts, get to grips with the fundamentals of block-based programming, and develop their logical thinking and design skills.
This package includes a 4AA Battery Holder (SKU: 14002), but not include rechargeable Lithium Battery (SKU: P3090003) due to logistics reasons, nor the Bluetooth dongle (SKU: P5010002), but they can be acquired separately.
