Wonder Workshop Dash - Coding Robot for Kids 6+ - Voice Activated - Navigates Objects - 5 Free Programming STEM Apps - Creating Confident Digital Citizens

Everything thing else working fine. But its head start vibrating suddenly. You people should test these items especially for export. How I can claim thus type of things now? If you want I can share video.

Muy entretenido, fácil de usar, y a demás educativo, que más se puede pedir??? La verdad superó mis expectativas por mucho

El conjunto de robot + aplicaciones + web está muy bien. 1.- El robot permite hacer muchas cosas (movimientos, girar la cabeza, cambiar luces, grabar y reproducir sonidos, etc) y las hace de manera fluida. Esta muy bien conseguido. 2.- Las aplicaciones (cuatro a día de hoy) permiten a los niños usarlo como un coche teledirigido o aprender a programarlo a tres niveles. Uno para muy peques, uno arrastrando módulos de acción visuales y una última ya más "real" con un entorno de tipo Scratch. Todas con totales que van introduciendo los conceptos. En inglés, eso sí, y depende tanto del peque como de los padres seguirlo bien (es muy sencillo en todo caso). 3.- La web de Make Wonder tiene ideas, cursos, challenges, etc. Se mueven bastante y ayuda a tener ideas. Se agradece. Si quieres enseñar a programar a tus hijos, el hecho de que lo que los niños programen lo vean reflejado en algo "físico" si tener que imaginarse algo en la pantalla del ordenador/ipad es un plus de cara a afianzar los conceptos. En este sentido es infinitamente mejor que "scratch directamente. En este sentido el curso de programación con Minecraft de [...] está muy bien también. Sobre edad... mi peque lo recibió con 6 y medio y se pueden hacer ya muchas cosas con él, lo seguía sin problema, aunque es posible que se le saque más provecho con algo más de edad. Eso si, esto es algo para padres y hijos, es una herramienta para educar, no es un juguete para el niño, para eso hay seguramente opciones más baratas y/o adecuadas.

This robot is fantastic, helps understand coding and can also be challenging in a great way

(Bought this for a 5 year old) Absolutely OUTSTANDING product. As both a creative lead and tech developer, my personal standards for these types of devices is quite high and this little thing has not only met every expectation and promise, but exceeded them. In a world flooded with mediocre (or outright horrible) iterations of educational scientific / tech / STEM toys, it is incredibly satisfying to land on a product so well designed and constructed in every aspect of its envelope. MAJOR props to the teams behind the Dash. I cannot recommend it enough, both my 5 year old and myself find the device challenging and fun to use; a very difficult thing to accomplish. PROS: - Slick product design and very solid / sturdy construction. - Powerful, smooth and responsive motors, will not get stuck on simple objects in its path and can truck over changes in terrain such (rugs clothing) with little effort. It can also avoid obstacles. Motors have a very smooth motion. - Great battery life, and quick charging. I have not tested the full discharge, but you can easily get over an hour's worth of play-time out a partial charge (probably more). - Nearly infinite configurability. I am simply blown away by the number of pre-defined nodes you can pull up and program into the system, as well as the simplicity of adding your own. the result is a ridiculously vast ability to configure different programs and interactions. - FANTASTIC companion application, BRILLIANT UX/UI. I cannot overstate how incredibly well designed and implemented the robot and application are. The application It is one probably the best I have ever seen for a toy like this and easily the one thing that sets this above the rest. It is intuitive, responsive, and the education / tutoring progression section is phenomenal. My child has a blast going through the progression and enjoys the feel of the presentation. It does an excellent job of conveying basic and advanced principles and getting the user to not only execute those principles, but QA them. SUPER PRO - NO account sign up. NO user info. NO data tracking. In a world where every damned thing wants to siphon personal info through a sign up, subscription to a news letter, liking of a Facebook post, submission of a credit check and donation blood... for the honor of using it, this device has NONE of that nonsense. THANK YOU DASH! SUPER DUPER PRO - Price. I have seen a plethora of far inferior toys for double the cost (or more). This thing is a no-brainer at this price, especially when compared to the garbage out there. CON / ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT - I had to struggle with a CON, so this really more of an improvement request. A better way to export / view the actual code which the application is running, so the user can see a comparison between the node layout and the code used to execute the commend. This is minor though, as the current structure does an EXCELLENT job of introducing programing concepts, workflows and troubleshooting. Just get it. You will not at all be disappointed.

As an educator, I have used the Dash robots from Wonder Workshop for over a decade. I have used them in my own elementary classroom and also travelled with a set of robots in my tech kit as a technology coach who works in 15 different schools. The robots provide a variety of fun and engaging opportunities for students to learn programming. I appreciate that they work well with a variety of devices, either using an app on our iPads or from the web-based site at code.makewonder.com. The robots have been durable and they have held up well with some basic guidelines for how students use them. I’d highly recommend trying the Wonder Workshop robots if you’re an educator looking for ways to teach coding!
