eXperiBot: The Learning Robot for the Classroom The eXperiBot is a versatile educational robot specially developed for use in classroom settings. Thanks to its simple design and extensive teaching materials, it can be quickly integrated into lessons and makes learning about programming and technology an exciting experience. The eXperiBot is characterized by a clear step-by-step logic and intuitive usability. The graphical programming interface allows students as early as grade 5 to gain their first programming experience. Students are supported by Arianna, the virtual companion from the accompanying comic, who offers helpful tips and guidance. This makes programming understandable and motivating—even for beginners.
Interactive Learning in Small Groups
With the Explorer 4-Pack (105416), learners can work together in small groups and develop their programming skills individually. The eXperiBot provides instant feedback through direct responses, making programming fun and enabling quick "aha" moments. This interactive learning experience fosters teamwork and a fundamental understanding of technical concepts.
Smart Factory: Curriculum-Based, Real-World Projects
For more advanced projects, the Smart Factory Set (105417) offers additional curriculum-aligned materials. This complete set includes all necessary robot modules and components, such as a pusher, gripper, conveyor belt, and sorter. Combined with teacher- and student-oriented teaching materials, the Smart Factory helps convey technological processes in a vivid and practical way.
