Dash - Set of 6 Robots & 10-Port USB Charger

Meet Dash, the dynamic and engaging learning companion designed to bring coding and robotics to life in classrooms. This set includes six Dash robots and a 10-port USB charger, offering a complete classroom solution that supports group work and maximises hands-on learning opportunities. Dash is beloved by students for its expressive personality and interactive capabilities-responding to voice, navigating around obstacles, playing sounds, lighting up, and more. Whether you're introducing coding fundamentals or guiding students through complex STEM challenges, Dash is ready to inspire.

Packed with personality and versatility, Dash fosters creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. It can be programmed through a range of free Wonder Workshop apps and is compatible with both Apple and Android devices. Swift Playgrounds integration extends the learning into real-world programming languages, while the ability to use sensors, sounds, lights, and movement adds a rich, interactive dimension to student learning.
