The student activity book that accompanies First Steps in Coding, supplied as a bundle of ten eBooks so each child in a group has their own copy to work through rather than sharing a projected page. What you receive: A bundle of 10 student activity eBooks Delivered digitally — an end-user email address is required to issue access What students work through: Activities that pair with the teacher e-resource lesson by lesson Mathematical thinking applied to coding problems Game-based tasks students complete alongside a KaiBot robot Ordering for a class: Each bundle covers ten students — order enough bundles for your cohort A class of 25 needs three bundles The teacher e-resource is a separate purchase and is needed to run the programme This is a digital product, so nothing ships. Access is issued to the email address supplied with your order. Designed to be used with a KaiBot robot and coding cards, sold separately.

First Steps in Coding is a downloadable teaching resource that introduces coding through mathematical thinking and game-based learning, rather than treating it as a separate subject that has to be squeezed into an already full week. What you receive: A downloadable e-resource book with teacher notes and student worksheets Delivered digitally — an end-user email address is required to issue access What it covers: Coding concepts introduced through mathematical reasoning Game-based activities designed to run with a KaiBot robot Worksheets for students alongside guidance for the teacher Worth knowing before you order: This is the teacher edition — for a class set of student activity books, order the 10-eBook bundle separately It is already included in the KaiBot Small, Medium and Large Classroom Packs, so check before buying it twice This is a digital product, so nothing ships. Access is issued to the email address supplied with your order. Designed to be used with a KaiBot robot and coding cards, sold separately.

The Dragon of Disengagement is a board game and comic-book adventure for Years 4 to 6, built around the habits that actually decide whether a student learns: focus, impulse control, flexible thinking and knowing when to ask for help. KaiBot plays the characters Marshie and Marsha, navigating an island of wizards, tricksters and the dragon itself. What's included: 9 x magnetic game tiles that snap together to form the island board 1 x comic book following Marshie and Marsha's story 50 x question cards, 25 x challenge cards and 24 x magic cards 60 x health tokens 1 x user guide What students practise: Attention, emotional regulation and impulse control, framed as gameplay rather than instruction Empathy, teamwork and digital citizenship through choose-your-path challenges Coding missions that keep computational thinking in play alongside the SEL work The question cards are aligned to the CASEL framework, and the game was developed alongside school psychologists — useful if you need to justify it to a curriculum coordinator rather than just a class. Compatible with KaiBot only. The robot and a set of advanced coding cards are required and sold separately. A free companion app extends the game for classes that want the hybrid version.

Literacy Kitchen puts early readers in a restaurant, taking orders from a queue of animal customers. Students program KaiBot with coding cards to fetch, cook and deliver — and the literacy work happens inside the game rather than beside it. What's included: 9 x magnetic Literacy Kitchen tiles that snap together into the game board Activity cards 1 x illustrated storybook following Marshie the Marshmallow What students practise: Phonics, vocabulary and word recognition, prompted by the activity cards Sequencing and logic — the coding is the vehicle, not the subject Following multi-step instructions and checking their own work when the robot gets it wrong How you can run it: Entirely screen-free with the board, cards and storybook Or paired with the free companion app for guided phonics lessons and rewards Built on Universal Design for Learning principles, so one box works across a mixed-ability group rather than needing a separate activity for students who read at different levels. No coding experience needed to teach it. Requires a KaiBot robot and coding cards, sold separately.

Market Math turns a supermarket into a maths lesson. Students take on Marshie the Marshmallow's shopping run, programming KaiBot with coding cards to collect items for each customer while working through the numeracy challenges on the activity cards. What's included: 9 x magnetic Market Math tiles that snap together into the game board Activity cards 1 x illustrated storybook What students practise: Counting, addition and number recognition in a real-world shopping context Budgeting and decision-making — choosing what fits the money available Sequencing, logic and pattern recognition through the screen-free coding How you can run it: Entirely screen-free using the board, activity cards and storybook Or paired with the free companion app, which adds guided maths levels and a karaoke mode for younger classes Designed on Universal Design for Learning principles, so a single box suits a mixed-ability group. No coding expertise required to run it — the maths leads and the coding follows. Requires a KaiBot robot and coding cards, sold separately.

KaiTiles are the floor KaiBot codes on. Each magnetic tile carries a unique number, and the robot's downward-facing camera senses exactly which tile it is standing on — so a maze becomes something the robot understands rather than just something it drives across. Available in packs of ten: Tiles 1–10, 11–20, 21–30, 31–40, 41–50 and 51–60 Every tile number is unique, so packs combine into one continuous layout rather than repeating Tiles snap together magnetically and come apart just as easily at pack-up time How many do you need? One pack of ten builds a simple path or a small maze for one group Thirty tiles suit a small class working in several groups at once Sixty tiles allow parallel challenges across a full class, or one large shared course What students practise: Spatial reasoning and planning — designing the maze is half the lesson Sequencing and debugging against a layout they built themselves Working with the Autonomous Charging Dock, whose charge tile sits in the maze alongside standard tiles Requires a KaiBot robot, sold separately. Select your number range above — if you already own a set, choose the next range up so the numbers keep running rather than duplicating.

The KaiBot Charging Case holds and charges ten robots at once from a single wall socket. It is the answer to the most tedious problem in a classroom robotics set — ten robots, ten cables, and a trolley drawer that never quite gets plugged in before the next lesson. What's included: 1 x powered charging case (robots not included) 10 x charge docks 10 x USB charge dock cables 1 x multi-port mains USB adapter Why it earns its place: All ten robots charge simultaneously, so a set is ready for period one rather than half-flat Everything travels together — robots, docks and cables stay in one case between rooms One power point instead of ten, which matters in a classroom with three spare sockets It pairs naturally with the Medium and Large Classroom Packs, where keeping ten or fifteen robots charged is otherwise a daily job for someone. Robots are not included — this is the case, docks, cables and power supply only.

The Autonomous Charging Dock lets KaiBot look after its own battery. Paired with Kainundrum, the robot drives itself over to the dock and charges when it needs to — no one has to remember to plug it in at the end of a lesson. What's included: 1 x charging dock 1 x magnetic charge tile 1 x magnetic USB charge cable How it fits your setup: The charge tile works alongside standard KaiTiles, so the dock sits inside a maze rather than beside it Multiple docks can be linked together for a charging row The magnetic connector means no fiddly plug for small hands to find This dock is optional — KaiBot also charges from its own USB cable, included with the robot. It earns its place where robots are in constant use and a flat battery costs you a lesson, or where self-charging is itself the thing you want students to see working. Requires a KaiBot robot, sold separately.

The Advanced Coding Cards take KaiBot well past forwards, backwards and turn. This pack of over 100 cards covers movement, logic, functions, repeats, conditionals, variables, colour and social-emotional prompts — enough to keep a student progressing for years without moving to a screen. What's included: 1 x pack of 100+ advanced coding cards Durable, water-resistant finish built for daily classroom handling What the cards cover: Movement and directional control Logic, conditionals and repeats Functions and variables — concepts most primary students meet first on a screen Colour commands and social-emotional prompts Why it matters: The whole algorithm sits on the desk where a class can see it, point at it and argue about it Debugging becomes physical — students swap a card rather than hunt through code Concepts transfer directly to Blockly and Python when students move on The cards were designed by computer science teachers and are scaffolded by difficulty, so one pack serves a mixed-ability group rather than only the students who are already confident. Requires a KaiBot robot, sold separately. Multiple packs are worth considering for a class — each group coding at once needs its own deck.

The Braille Coding Cards let students who are blind or have low vision code KaiBot independently — not with a modified version of the lesson, but with the same robot, the same maze and the same algorithm as everyone else at the table. Each card carries its command in Braille and in tactile form, so a student reads the sequence by touch and lays it out themselves. What's included: 1 x double pack of 100+ Braille coding cards Why it works in a mixed classroom: KaiBot reads Braille cards exactly as it reads the standard set, so groups can work together without splitting the activity The robot's movement gives immediate, non-visual feedback — a student hears and follows the outcome of their own code Algorithms are understood through touch rather than translated by a support teacher What students practise: Braille literacy alongside computational thinking Sequencing, debugging and spatial reasoning Independent participation in mainstream coding lessons Kai's Education developed its accessible range in partnership with the American Printing House for the Blind. Requires a KaiBot robot, sold separately.

The KaiBot Large Classroom Pack is the full-class option — fifteen robots, sixty numbered KaiTiles and a student eBook for every child, sized for around 30 students working in pairs. It is the pack for a school committing to coding across a whole year level rather than trialling it in one room. What's included: 15 x KaiBot robots with charging cables 7 x Advanced Coding Card sets (100 cards each) 1 x Charging Station and 1 x Charging Dock 2 x sets of Magnetic KaiTiles 1–30, plus 1 x set of KaiTiles 31–60 1 x Teacher Guide eBook 15 x Student Activity eBooks Why the tile count matters: Sixty uniquely numbered tiles let several groups build separate mazes at once, or one very large shared layout Duplicate 1–30 sets mean two groups can run identical challenges side by side and compare solutions Advanced cards cover movement, logic, functions, repeats, conditionals and variables What students practise: Collaborative problem-solving across parallel groups Progression from screen-free cards through Blockly to Python Independent work, with an activity eBook each rather than a shared handout Sixty-plus CSTA-aligned lesson plans are available free from Kai's Education with an account. Purchase orders welcome from Australian schools.

The KaiBot Small Classroom Pack puts five robots and thirty numbered KaiTiles into a room — enough for around 10 students working in small-group rotation. Kai's Education suggests roughly one robot per three students, so this pack also stretches to a larger class if groups take turns at a station. What's included: 5 x KaiBot robots with charging cables 2 x Advanced Coding Card sets (100 cards each) 1 x Charging Dock 1 x set of Magnetic KaiTiles, numbered 1 to 30 1 x Teacher Guide eBook Running it in class: Uniquely numbered tiles can all sit on the same maze layout, so groups can build one large course or several small ones Advanced cards go well beyond basic movement, covering logic, functions, repeats, conditionals and variables Robots work screen-free, or paired with Kainundrum on iPad, Chromebook, PC or Mac What students practise: Sequencing and debugging as a group, with the code laid out on the desk Reading and following each other's algorithms A path from unplugged cards through Blockly to Python Over sixty CSTA-aligned lesson plans are available free from Kai's Education with an account. Purchase orders welcome from Australian schools.

The KaiBot Medium Classroom Pack carries ten robots and fifty numbered KaiTiles — enough for a class of around 20 students working in pairs, with tiles to spare for larger maze layouts. It adds a charging station, so a full set can be powered up overnight from one point rather than ten separate cables. What's included: 10 x KaiBot robots with charging cables 1 x Charging Station and 1 x Charging Dock 5 x Advanced Coding Card sets (100 cards each) 1 x set of Magnetic KaiTiles, numbered 1 to 50 1 x Teacher Guide eBook Running it in class: Five card sets means five groups can code independently rather than queueing for one deck Fifty uniquely numbered tiles can form one large maze or several smaller ones at once Robots can run screen-free, or paired with Kainundrum on iPad, Chromebook, PC or Mac What students practise: Movement, logic, functions, repeats, conditionals and variables through the advanced cards Collaboration and turn-taking in group rotations A progression from unplugged cards through Blockly to Python Over sixty CSTA-aligned lesson plans are available free from Kai's Education with an account. Purchase orders welcome from Australian schools.

The KaiBot Intro Pack pairs the KaiBot coding robot with its first set of magnetic KaiTiles — enough to build simple mazes and start coding on the first day. It suits a single student at home, one station in a classroom, or a teacher who wants to trial KaiBot before committing to a full class set. What's included: 1 x KaiBot hybrid coding robot, with USB charging cable and 33 basic coding cards 1 x set of magnetic KaiTiles, numbered 1 to 10 Getting started: Lay the KaiTiles out as a path or a maze — KaiBot senses which numbered tile it is sitting on Build a program with the coding cards and let KaiBot scan and run it, with no screen involved Pair with the free Kainundrum Lite app for tutorials, coding modes, projects and a 3D virtual maze What students practise: Sequencing, direction and simple debugging Spatial reasoning through designing their own mazes An entry point that leads on to Blockly and Python as confidence grows You will need your own USB power adapter — the pack includes the charging cable but not a wall plug. Everything here works with the rest of the KaiBot range, so extra tiles, advanced card sets and classroom packs added later all fit together.

KaiBot is a hybrid coding robot for students aged 5 to 15 — one robot that works completely screen-free, or alongside a tablet or laptop when you're ready for it. Students lay out a sequence of tactile coding cards, KaiBot reads them with its downward-facing camera, and then drives the sequence out on the floor. The logic is visible on the desk before anyone opens an app. What's included: 1 x KaiBot robot with built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery 1 x USB charging cable 1 x set of basic coding cards (33 cards) with a durable, water-resistant finish How it works: A downward-facing camera reads the coding cards and senses which numbered KaiTile the robot is sitting on A 1" LCD screen shows the recorded card, the battery level, and the student's emoji when paired with Kainundrum Four RGB LEDs signal the robot's state and the student's profile colour A built-in speaker gives audio feedback during activities The roof is Lego-compatible, so students can build on top of the robot Connects over Bluetooth and works with iPad, Chromebook, PC and Mac What students practise: Sequencing and debugging, before any syntax gets in the way A clear progression from unplugged cards to Blockly, and then to Python Cross-curricular work through Literacy Kitchen, Market Math and Kainundrum The battery is sealed and the shell has no user-serviceable parts inside, so there is nothing loose for students to mislay. Add the optional Autonomous Charging Dock and, once paired with Kainundrum, KaiBot will drive over and charge itself between lessons.

Magnetic active styluses that clip to the side of a tablet the way an Apple Pencil does — which is the single biggest factor in whether a stylus is still with the device at the end of term. Choose your platform: Neo — for iPad. Magnetically attaches to the side of compatible models. Neo Ink — for Windows devices including Surface, using Microsoft Pen Protocol. Why magnetic attachment matters in a school. A stylus in a pencil case gets lost; a stylus stuck to the tablet comes back with the tablet. If you're issuing styluses with a class set, this is the feature that determines how many you're replacing next year. Check compatibility before ordering — Neo works with iPad models that support side attachment, and Neo Ink needs a Windows device with pen support. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

Two precision styluses that need no battery, no pairing and no charging — which for a shared class set is the whole argument. Nothing to go flat, nothing to configure, works the moment a student picks it up. Choose your model: SE 2 — the newer design, in black or white Pro 4 — the precision disc model, in black or silver Where these fit: annotation, maths working, diagrams and drawing on any touchscreen. Both work across iPad, Android and Windows, so a mixed fleet doesn't need two products. Passive or active? Passive styluses like these are cheaper, need no charging and never stop working mid-lesson. Active styluses such as the Dash 4 and Neo give a finer line and a more natural feel, at roughly twice the price and with a battery to keep charged. For a class set, passive usually wins. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A large desk pad covering the area under a keyboard and mouse. Gives an optical mouse a consistent surface, which matters on the glass and gloss laminate desks common in school offices. What it is: Large-format desk pad in black Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A USB-C travel charger with Apple Find My built in — so a charger left in a classroom or a meeting room can be located rather than written off. Choose your output: 50W — tablets, phones and smaller laptops 120W — larger laptops, or several devices at once Why Find My matters here. Chargers are the single most-lost item in any school — left plugged in behind a desk, borrowed and not returned, gone by the end of term. A trackable charger is worth the premium if you're issuing them to staff rather than replacing them twice a year. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A vertical stand that holds a closed laptop on its edge, freeing the desk space the machine would otherwise occupy. For a workstation where the laptop drives an external monitor and stays shut all day, this is the tidiest way to store it. What it does: Holds a closed laptop vertically Adjustable to fit different thicknesses Chrome or white Where it fits: a staff desk running a laptop in clamshell mode with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Also useful for storing a set of laptops upright on a shelf rather than stacked. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

An adjustable arm that holds an iPad wherever you need it — over a desk, beside a monitor, or angled down at a workbench. The arm is the point: a normal stand puts a tablet in one position, this puts it anywhere. What it does: Weighted base with an adjustable arm Holds an iPad at almost any height and angle Black or white Where it earns its place in a school: As a visualiser — angle an iPad down over a desk to show worked examples on the board Recording demonstrations — science, art, food technology and maker work filmed from overhead Stop-motion animation — a stable overhead position is exactly what the task needs Accessibility — positioning a screen for a student who can't hold a device Cheaper than a dedicated document camera if you already have iPads, and does more with them. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

Compact stands from the Curve range — smaller and lower-cost than the full Curve, for desks where space is tight or the stand needs to travel with the laptop. Choose your model: Curve Nano — the smallest, folds flat to travel. Slate, dune or coastal. Curve Mini — a step up in height and stability Curve Flex — adjustable height and angle, for setting a screen exactly at eye level Why raise a laptop at all. A screen on the desk means looking down all day, which is the most common cause of neck and shoulder complaints among staff. A stand is the cheapest ergonomic fix available — though it does mean adding an external keyboard, since the built-in one is no longer at typing height. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

AirFly sends audio from any 3.5mm socket to wireless headphones. It was built for aeroplane entertainment systems, but the school use is more interesting: it lets AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones work with equipment that has no Bluetooth at all. Choose your model: AirFly SE — one pair of headphones, the lowest-cost option AirFly Pro — two pairs at once, and works in reverse to receive audio AirFly Pro 2 — the current Pro, in black, white or blue AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe — Pro 2 with a travel case and extra adaptors Where it earns its place in a school: older listening stations, CD and audio players, gym and fitness equipment, and library media stations — anywhere a student with wireless headphones meets a device with only a headphone socket. Also useful for staff wanting to hear a projector or display without cabling across the room. Pro shares to two pairs, which suits paired listening tasks and reading buddies. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A Thunderbolt 5 dock with a built-in SSD enclosure — the top of the Satechi range, and genuinely specialist equipment. Thunderbolt 5 carries far more bandwidth than USB-C, which matters when a workstation drives multiple high-resolution displays and moves large video files at the same time. What it does: Thunderbolt 5 connection to the host machine Built-in SSD enclosure for fast working storage Full desktop dock port selection Be clear about whether you need this. For a teacher laptop and a classroom display, a $100 USB-C multiport adapter does the job. Thunderbolt 5 earns its price in a video editing suite, a design lab or a media production room — and only on a machine that supports Thunderbolt in the first place. Check the laptop before ordering. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts — ask us for a quote on multiple units.

A large vegan-leather desk mat covering the area under a keyboard and mouse. Beyond looking tidier, it gives an optical mouse a consistent surface — glass, gloss laminate and light timber all confuse mouse sensors, and school desks are usually one of the three. What it is: Vegan-leather surface, large format Black, brown or navy Where it fits: staff workstations, front office and reception desks, and library terminals. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A pocket-sized enclosure that turns a bare NVMe SSD into a fast portable drive over USB-C. For media and IT work, this is how you get a fast working drive for a fraction of the price of a finished portable SSD. What it does: Takes an M.2 NVMe SSD (sold separately) Connects over USB-C Compact aluminium body Where it earns its place: video editing scratch drives, imaging and reimaging school laptops, and student media projects where a spinning USB stick is too slow. Also a way to reuse SSDs pulled from retired machines. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

USB4 cables carry data, video and up to 100W of power over a single lead — the specification that lets one cable drive a display and charge a laptop at the same time. Choose your length: 25cm — for connecting a hub or dock sitting beside the laptop 1.2m Pro — for reaching a display or a dock across a desk Where USB4 is worth paying for. Most classroom charging doesn't need it — a standard USB-C cable charges fine and costs a third as much. USB4 earns its price when the same cable has to carry high-resolution video or move large files, which means media rooms, design workstations and anywhere a dock drives an external monitor. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A stand that sits under a Mac Mini M4 and adds ports plus an SSD enclosure — lifting the machine off the desk while putting the connections you use daily on the front instead of round the back. What it does: Raises the Mac Mini M4 with a matching aluminium stand Adds front-accessible ports Built-in SSD enclosure for expandable storage Where it fits in a school: a media or design workstation where a Mac Mini is the fixed machine and students plug in drives and cards constantly. Reaching behind the unit twenty times a day is the problem this solves. Check your model. This is sized for the M4 generation Mac Mini, which is a different shape from earlier models — for those, see the Stand and Hub for Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

Slim multiport adapters that add HDMI, USB-A and card readers to a laptop or tablet that only has USB-C. Aluminium bodies sized to sit alongside a MacBook without looking bolted on. Choose by how many ports you need: 4-in-1 — display out plus a couple of USB ports. Enough for a teacher laptop that needs to reach a classroom display. 6-in-1 — adds card readers, for camera, drone and media work 7-in-1 — adds Ethernet, for wired network on a laptop with no RJ45 port OntheGo 7-in-1 — the same port count in a more portable body 13-in-1 Triple Display — drives three monitors, for a fixed workstation doing design, video or data work Buying for a school. A teacher moving between rooms wants the smallest adapter that reaches a display — fewer ports means less to carry and less to lose. A fixed workstation is the opposite: a bigger adapter replaces a drawer of dongles. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A vegan-leather mouse pad in black or brown. A small thing, but a smooth consistent surface makes an optical mouse track reliably on a desk that would otherwise confuse it — glass, gloss laminate and light timber are all common culprits in school offices. What it is: Vegan-leather surface Black or brown Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

Slim mice for classrooms, labs and staff desks. The choice comes down to one thing: whether the machine is shared. Choose by how it's used: C1 USB-C Wired — plug in and go, nothing to pair or charge. The right answer for a computer lab. Slim LX USB-C Wired — the same wired simplicity in a slimmer body Slim EX Wireless — for an assigned staff laptop where a cable is a nuisance OntheGo — compact and portable, in black or sand, to travel with a tablet Why wired usually wins in a school. A wireless mouse on a shared machine has to be paired, holds that pairing, and runs out of charge at the worst moment. A wired mouse works for whoever sits down. Save the wireless ones for individually assigned devices. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.

A wireless numeric keypad that sits beside a compact keyboard or a laptop — the way to add number entry without replacing a keyboard that's otherwise fine. What it does: Full numeric keypad, wireless Slim aluminium body matching the Satechi keyboard range Silver or space grey Where it earns its place: a staff member doing reporting or budgets on a laptop, front-office data entry, and maths or business classes where students enter long number sequences. A keypad is far cheaper than a new full-size keyboard and takes up less desk. Also available: the Bluetooth Extended Keypad, which adds calculator functions. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
