What Teachers Say
"Two years ago, we bought our first Dash & Dot robots. We started with Code.org but I wanted to do more hands-on work so the students could see the impact... We've taken a lot of pride in encouraging our girls into STEM fields and telling them about what jobs are out there. By teaching them to code, we show them that the sky is the limit."
Cynthia Cooksey, Library Media Specialist, Texas
Meet The Robots
DASH & DOT
Designed for elementary students, Dash is a clever little robot with multiple sensors and a quirky personality. Using its accelerometer and IR sensors, Dash can respond to its environment, and can even turn into a controller for Dot! Students will learn about robotics and develop fundamental coding and problem-solving skills while having fun.
