Description

Wonder Workshop's award-winning Dash robots teach kids 6 and up how to code, igniting curiosity and confidence through play while learning essential 21st century skills. Wonder Workshop hosts Wonder League, a worldwide community of clubs inspiring the creators of tomorrow through robotics and coding.

Dash robots bring the creativity and critical thinking of coding to life for kids within an engaging robotic wrapper. Working in tandem with a tablet or smart phone and a growing suite of free apps compatible with more than 20 iOS and Android devices, Dash makes difficult computer science concepts as easy as finger painting. Kids can discover a world of learning and fun with the lovable robots that bring imaginations to life and encourage problem solving by exploring the possibilities programming creates.

The programmable 'bots enable every child to explore STEM principles and gain access to vital 21st century skills in a language they can understand. Wonder Workshop teaches kids hands-on experiences with STEM principles like conditionals, variables and sequences through coding languages that program the way a kid thinks.
