Excellent. It works just great. My son was away from iPad and iPhone and just played with this coding robot without using any screen. Great 👍👍👍

About Thames & Kosmos
Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 with the mission of improving informal science education outside of the classroom. T&K's mission has since expanded from its STEM roots to encompass other educational branches, including arts and crafts and games and magic. T&K places an emphasis on teaching concepts and skills through tactile processes. Our vision is to give all children access to real, physical activities and projects that teach them how things work.
Kids First Coding & Robotics
Coding for Preschoolers!
Meet Sammy. This cute little peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually a robot that teaches coding principles and skills to children in grades K-2. You don't need a tablet, smartphone, or computer to program this robot; programs are created by simply laying down a sequence of physical code cards. You can program the robot to move around, activate its output gear, light up its LED, play sounds, and more! Use the robots to complete coding challenges and learn the basics of programming.
- Ages 4 to 8
- 64-page, full-color manual
- 417 pieces, including plastic building pieces for models and over 200 code cards
- 30 coding lessons are taught over 6 storylines involving different models, like a penguin, soccer player, mouse, and more!
- Coding lessons align with standards for computer science education developed by CSTA, ISTE
- Designed to grow with young learners from pre-K to grade 2, the kit covers six key areas of coding: sequencing, loops, events, conditionals, functions, variables
- No tablet, smartphone, or computer required
- Bonus: special math mode allows you to test your math skills!
How Does It Work?
Build Sammy (and other models!)
Follow the step-by-step visual instructions to construct a variety of models that appear throughout the storybook-style manual. In addition to Sammy, there are five other stories, each with a series of model-building and coding challenges and lessons related to it: a mouse moves through a maze to find cheese, a penguin interacts with other animals in a park, a soccer player moves a ball into the goal, a fire truck puts out fires, and a factory robot performs tasks in a factory scenario. All models use the same robotic base unit.
Write a program using cards (no device required!)
Each code card represents a different function or chunk of code that tells the robot what to do: move forward, turn left, play a sound, etc. You write a program by laying down a sequence of these code cards and having your robot drive over them one by one. While it does this, the OID sensor on the bottom of the robotic base unit scans a small pattern of dots that you can barely see printed on the cards. The robot records the sequence as a program.
Watch your robot run the program!
Once the robot has stored the program, you'll place it on a grid made of map cards that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and the robot will run the program you created! The optical scanner reads the map cards so the robot can always orient itself and interact with other objects and machines you build. There are 38 different map cards included, allowing you to run more complex programs once you get the hang of it!
Bonus Math Mode
A special math mode offers simple lessons in number comparisons, addition, variables, and algorithms for hands-on math explorations. Just switch the robotic base unit to math mode and program your robot in the same way as before, this time with the goal of solving specific math problems.
More About the Kids First Line
Level 1: Ages 3 to 5
Coding & Robotics is one of eight kits in the Kids First line that cater to preschool-aged children. The kits in Level 1 encourage pretend play through simple activities that answer 'How' and 'Why' questions and they include storybook-style manuals to guide children's scientific adventures.
Level 2: Ages 5 to 7
Level 2 kits, intended for children ages five to seven, include highly illustrated manuals that guide children through simple experiments to introduce them to the scientific method and basic scientific principles such as engineering, botany, physics, and much more.
Level 3: Ages 8 and up
The kits in Level 3 include complete illustrated manuals with serious experiments that result in a longer experience with the kit. The kits in this level cover three main areas of science: physics, chemistry, and biology, and offer in-depth explanations and lessons to guide children as they learn important scientific concepts.
Excelente juguete educativo
Muy buen producto, mi hija tiene 5 años y le ha fascinado, necesita supervicion y compañía para guiar su aprendisaje , es muy intuitivo aunque armar los personajes es una tarea un poco compleja para la edad de mi hija en especial el desmonte hasta tiene una herramienta separadoras de fichas , además toca desarmar algunos personajes para armar otro como por ejemplo el sandwish y el ratón , me gustaría que se pudieran comprar mas fichas , las fichas dicen "gigo" pero no he encontrado de venta en colombia. Es muy bueno dejar que se equiboquen al programar el código pero lo mejor es hacerle que ella descubra por que fue , por eso trabajar pequeñas partes del código es importante. El sonido del robot es algo bajo podría ser mejor... Además tiene un modo de clasificación de colores ,secuencia de números y sumas (con el resultaso del 1 al 30 )adicional donde debes hacer que tu hijo programe unos desafíos y logre pasar por el tablero en las casillas correctas , depende que tan creativo seas puedes hacer miles de actividades mas de las lecciones del libro
