Hi,
I’m helping teach a robotics class to 8-12 year olds using borrowed Lego MindStorm robots. The class has been excellent and we’ve been asked to repeat it with more students but we don’t have long term access to the Lego robots. We also have a very limited budget. We like the features/ruggedness/quality of the Zumo 32U4 robot and the MiniBloq programming environment; however, we can’t tell for sure if they are compatible. Will they work together?
We’ve looked at other graphical programming environments (BlocklyDuino, MakeBlock, SparkiDuino, …) and robots but without hands on experience with them we can’t determine which would be most suitable for this age group. MiniBloq looks very capable and well documented. Other suggestions?
Thanks so much for the help.
Paul
