Wrecking your brains thinking of a million and one ways to entertain your kids while staying indoors during the weekend? You are not alone. With the COVID-19 pandemic still posing a risk to young children, it is the safer choice to keep outdoor activities in crowded public areas to a minimum and keep our children occupied with fun activities at home. But how does one keep children busy with stimulating activities for hours?
The solution is fairly simple – with a beginner robotics kit for children.
With schools introducing Educational Robotics to class curriculum to enhance learning and development of important skills, there is no better time to start getting your kids familiarised with robotics. Furthermore, learning how to work with robots or program robotics equipment is incredibly helpful when it comes to learning Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) concepts in future.
Why Introduce Your Kids to Robotics Kits?
First of all, robotics kits such as Botzees are interactive and educational, perfect for beginners and for easing children into new STEAM concepts. On top of that, you can spend some quality time bonding with your child while building the robot from scratch and then learn how to program it together via the Botzee application.
How to Use The Botzees Robotics Kit
Setting Up
Botzees is a coding robotics kit that is suitable for children above the age of 4. Building the robot itself would be the easiest part of it all since the parts resemble LEGO blocks which your children would be familiar with. Take this opportunity to hone your kid’s creativity as they have free reign over how they would like their robot to look since there is no exact way to fix it. Once you have your Botzees robot put together, you can then download the Botzees application on your mobile phone then connect to the robot via Bluetooth.
Programming It
Once you have it all set up, let the application teach your child how to program codes for the robot in order to make it move. For a fuss-free experience for parents, the application has included easy and intuitive coding games to teach your children how to program their Botzees.
Whenever they are ready, they can start adding codes or commands to program the robot’s movements or simply use your mobile device as a remote control to move the robot around. Some movements that the Botzees robot can be programmed to make include lighting up, move in various directions, dance and make sounds.
Playing Games
When you and your child are more familiar with how the application works, you can move on to solve puzzles or go on scavenger hunts with your very own robot through augmented reality. The Botzees application allows your child to learn in a rich augmented reality environment in Singapore with great storytelling and engaging games.
