Makeblock mTiny Coding Kit Education Robot for Preschool

mTiny - for preschool and early childhood education

Through code cards and themed mats, mTiny helps children explore, perceive and create through highly stimulating and fun games (available in the Activity Book included in the kit). Exercises logical thinking and problem solving skills with them. Stimulates children's interest in maths, English, music and more. Made of non-toxic materials, lead-free, has safe edges and, importantly, does not require a computer or tablet.

The digital age as part of education

Working with the robot inspires preschool and early elementary children to learn skills necessary for the digital age. It also makes extremely useful and often overlooked cross-curricular connections. Children can develop their computational thinking by performing a task assigned to a story or play freely while exploring new possibilities. mTiny allows children to independently explore things previously unknown to them in an effort to boost their confidence in independent thinking through play.

"Touch and Code" - Digital Coding Pen

Programming mTiny is done wirelessly. Simply touch individual code cards with the Digital Pen and the robot will pick up the instructions and begin to perform the task contained therein. While driving on the interactive mat, mTiny recognizes the elements on it and reacts to them. The innovative touch-and-code interaction system, as well as the engaging activity booklet, encourage children to learn.

Special features

• The Digital Pen included in the kit has three functions: encoding, remote control and motion detection.

• The interactive mTiny mat is a double-sided puzzle with which you can build tracks for your robot - the tracks can be different each time!
