Robo Wunderkind is a robotics kit of color-coded snap-together blocks with motors, lights, sensors and a small display. Children build a robot, add bricks or craft materials, then control or program it from a tablet app at three levels: Live remote control, Code with picture blocks, and Blockly. It is sold for ages 5-12 at home and in classrooms, with curricula and teacher training. Online sales now run through a reseller, Moravia Education.
Our take: A sturdy hands-on robot kit for ages 5-12 that suits classrooms and committed families; check the reseller's support and app updates before buying.
