Robotic Games

The Robotic Games series transforms lessons into playful competitions, where students design and program robots that act as game machines.Each project teaches how to combine sensors, motors, and logic into interactive activities. Students can test their builds against one another, adding a lively, social element to the classroom.
At the same time, these lessons provide structured programming practice, making them a strong foundation for computational thinking. By blending fun with function, the series motivates students to problem-solve, collaborate, and persevere while working on projects that are as entertaining as they are educational.
Lessons available in the Teacher and School plans.
  • extensive introduction illustrated with graphics and animations,
  • detailed instructions for building robots,
  • downloadable ready-to-use templates for laser cutter,
  • detailed instructions on how to design 3D elements for 3D printing,
  • step-by-step programming guide,
  • useful cross-sections of the construction,
  • access to additional teaching resources.
