Description

The Edison EdMat is a hard-wearing activity mat that gives your Edison robot a ready-made world to explore. It's the simplest way to get younger students coding and testing their robots straight out of the box.

Features:

  • A1 size (59 × 84 cm), designed for the classroom or the kitchen table
  • 6 printed barcodes that trigger Edison's built-in programs
  • A track for line-following, 'bounce in borders' and sumo-style challenges
  • Made from durable vinyl rubber that stands up to daily use

What your child practises:

  • Following and testing programs, then adjusting them
  • Understanding sensors — how Edison reads lines and borders
  • Turn-taking and friendly competition in robot challenges

An Edison robot isn't included and can be bought separately. Australian-owned and shipped from Australia, with purchase orders welcome for schools.
