As educators, we often seek innovative ways to engage our primary school students in learning that is both educational and enjoyable. With the advent of digital technology in education, the opportunities to expand the classroom beyond its four walls have never been greater. One such innovation that has been making waves in the educational sector is the Rugged Robot, an award-winning digital device designed for outdoor use, which is now available at a 20% discount during our special sale.
The Rugged Robot is not just any robot; it is a robust, programmable device that brings computer science lessons to life in the great outdoors. Its design and functionalities offer a unique learning experience that combines technology with the natural world. Here are five key features and benefits of the Rugged Robot that make it an indispensable tool for primary education:
1. Award-Winning Design for Outdoor Learning
The Rugged Robot is the recipient of the BETT 2020 award for the best digital device, a testament to its innovative design and utility in educational settings. Designed specifically for outdoor use, it can navigate all terrains, including sand, grit, dirt, and grass. This allows educators to take their coding and computational thinking lessons outside the classroom, providing students with a hands-on learning experience that is both engaging and relevant.
2. Versatile Control Options
With Bluetooth functionality, the Rugged Robot can be controlled via a tablet, iPad, or the TTS TacTile Reader, offering flexibility in how students interact with the device. Whether coding offline with Bee-bot esk buttons or using the free tablet app available on Android or iOS, students have multiple ways to program and control the Rugged Robot, accommodating different learning styles and preferences.
3. Enhance Computational Thinking Skills
The Rugged Robot boasts a memory of up to 256 steps, allowing students to execute complex programming tasks. With three speeds and an obstacle sensor that detects obstacles, reverses, and rotates the robot, students are introduced to more complex programming concepts in a fun and interactive way. This hands-on approach to learning helps develop critical computational thinking skills that are essential in today's digital world.
4. Cross-Curricular Learning Opportunities
Included with the Rugged Robot are various accessories and resources that facilitate cross-curricular learning. From the Rugged Robot Activity Book to thematic mats like the Coral Reef and Construction Site, educators can deliver lessons that not only teach computer science but also touch on subjects such as environmental science and history. These resources save significant planning time while enriching students' learning experiences.
