Makeblock · Coding robots
mTiny introduces programming through a tap pen, physical coding cards and a small robot that moves across a puzzle map. Children arrange instructions, predict a route and see what happens when the robot follows their sequence. There is no app or computer to set up, so an activity can begin with conversation, shared decisions and hands-on play at a table.
The Discover Kit adds drawing markers and a wider set of activity cards for exploring shapes, directions and simple routines. Change the map, give the robot a character mask or ask a partner to design the next route. The robot and pen arrive assembled and have rechargeable batteries, keeping the focus on trying an idea, noticing the result and making a change.
