Artie 3000, The Programmable Drawing Robot

Artie puts the A in STEAM, adding art to science and making coding relatable and fun for kids! With this set from Educational Insights, kids will learn to code and get drawing with robotics to create visual masterpiece: you code it, and Artie 3000 can draw it. Simply drag and drop blocks of code on a computer or tablet to tell Artie how and what to draw, or for more advanced coders, use Artie's additional coding applications including Blockly, Snap!, Python and JavaScript.

This set comes with the Artie robot, four washable markers to get you started, a quick start guide, and a set of activity cards to guide young coders in their first few coding projects. Several preset shapes are perfect for younger kids; older kids can create more freeform projects and run them in Simulate mode before Artie puts pen to paper. This accessible, fun, and surprisingly flexible new robot was a Toy of the Year Finalist and was named an Honorary Mensa Member.
