This is an all-in-one, turn-key solution for elementary and middle schools wishing to start a Blockly-based robotics program with the S3 Robot at a substantial savings. The Scribbler S3 12-pack Plus class pack includes everything needed to guide students through 30 classroom hours of the main tutorials, plus the sensors for the Hacker Port Expansion and Infrared Remote Control Tutorials. These additional parts open up opportunities for navigation with ultrasonic sensors, adding a servo for drawing artwork with an automatic pen-lifter, and remote control. The additional hardware may be used to support scaffolding and differentiation, along with classroom competition!
Our free resources for educators include scope and sequence, standards alignment and teaching guides.
