8 cones (4 green, 4 orange)
Micro USB cable
12 self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy, with written guides and video walkthroughs
What your child practises:
Drawing a path for the robot to follow — coding before reading code
Scratch-style blocks for loops, conditions and sensor input
JavaScript text programming once the blocks feel easy
Setting a challenge with the cones, then programming a route through it
