What is Edison Robot?

Edison is a super-affordable programmable robot designed to be a complete STEAM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years of age.

The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching kids computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way. Edison robots work with LEGO bricks and can be controlled and programmed in three ways:

1. Barcodes – Edison can read special barcodes that activate pre-programmed functions like follow a line or avoid obstacles
2. TV/DVD remote control – Edison can be controlled from standard TV or DVD remote controls using remote-control barcodes
3. Program – Edison can be programmed from a computer or tablet using any of our three programming languages:
   • EdBlocks, a drag-and-drop, fully graphical horizontal programming language for the Edison robot.
   • EdScratch, a vertical block-based programming language for the Edison robot based on Scratch.
   • EdPy, a python-like text-based programming language for the Edison robot.
