Loti-Bot

Loti-Bot is a compact, engaging educational robot designed to help children transition from early coding toys like Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot to more advanced programming concepts. It combines hands-on learning with digital skills, making abstract ideas like sequencing and logic tangible through physical movement, lights, and sound. With precision control, sensors, and the ability to draw complex shapes, Loti-Bot offers a dynamic STEAM learning experience. Its simple, intuitive interface lets students snap together blocks of code in a visual programming environment, making it ideal for early primary years and beyond. Loti-Bot also supports language development and creativity, encouraging learners to communicate ideas, problem-solve, and explore cause and effect through play.

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Builds foundational computational thinking and logic skills
• Integrates well with STEAM curriculum through art, coding, and design
