Discover new possibilities of working with robot thanks to dedicated accessories
Expand your teaching workshop with Photon accessories. Accessories will help expand each class in a new, interactive, and creative way. Stimulate your students’ imaginations with personalization accessories, make the workspace more attractive with educational mats, or teach the secrets of computer programming with the Photon Magic Dongle!
Educational Mat – Storytelling
The mat consists of 24 square boxes that form a story map. The mat helps to visualize the workspace and allows students to operate the robot in various spatial orientations, including the coordinate system known from chess (e.g. A3, B2, D4) or using the directions of the world. By planning the Robot’s route, students shape analytical skills, practice directions, estimate distances, test the developed program in a real-life setting.
Educational Mat – Adventures at Sea
Educational mat supporting the learning of geography, mathematics, biology, and foreign languages. It features clearly indicated directions of the world – useful for exercises and planning the Photon robot’s path. The mat’s grids have different sea and land creatures and other elements, which can be used for educational games, repetitions, and team activities. Along with the mat, the teacher receives free access to 10 engaging activity ideas designed specifically for this mat.
Educational Mat – Board Game
Educational mat with a simple and universal layout allows for organizing many types of educational games and exercises with the Photon Robot. With the help of this educational mat, students can improve their vocabulary, practice math, or play a round of robotic „bingo”. Letters and numbers on the mat facilitate the process of creating original exercises focused on languages, math, or even computational and analytical thinking. Along with the mat, the teacher receives free access to 10 engaging activity ideas designed specifically for this mat.
Educational Mat – Discover Europe
Educational mat supporting the learning of geography, mathematics and history. The mat’s grids contain interesting facts about European countries that will kickstart the imagination of students and develop their knowledge, including time zones, populations, capital cities, and landmarks. Along with the mat, the teacher receives free access to 10 engaging activity ideas designed specifically for this mat.
Drawing Kit
Educational mat, made of a special material that sustains repeated drawing and dry erasing. A clean pattern facilitates visualizing the Photon Robot’s route when programming in the interface of our choice. All 9 modules of this mat can be put in virtually any combination, creating an educational space adjusted to students. After the lesson, puzzles can be neatly packed into the included box and easily placed where they’re currently needed. Mat comes with a Photon robot marker holder, markers, and cloth for erasing.
Foam Mat
36 square puzzle-shaped boxes that teacher and students can join together however they like. By designing a route and planning the robot’s path, students develop planning and analytical skills, practice directions, estimate distances, and verify the program’s function in a real-life setting.
The Teacher’s Guide
This textbook is a collection of inspirations that explain how to use our robot when conducting activities for children in different age groups – from kindergarten to secondary school. You’ll find tips on how to develop social and emotional competencies, conduct experiments, work with artificial intelligence, and teach programming. The textbook includes examples of educational models, based on the expertise of many experienced educators and a set of detailed lesson scenarios for conducting classes using the Photon Robot as the primary tool.
Flashcards – Symbols Used in Our Application
The Symbols set from the Application contains symbols used in the Photon EDU application – they can be used for offline exercises with students, planning the robot’s route, or they can be placed on a mat to define what actions are to be performed on a given field.
Flashcards – Alphabet and Numbers
The Alphabet and Numbers set allows you to learn letters, spelling rules, or introduce to mathematics (addition, subtraction, and even learning the multiplication table). — Thanks to the flashcards, the teacher does not have to prepare additional elements before the class!
Photon Magic Dongle
A small device – a big game changer! Photon Magic Dongle allows you to connect the robot with a computer, thanks to which you can use an interactive board during classes with Photon, as well as explore the secrets of advanced programming. Just insert the adapter into your computer’s USB port and download the free Photon Magic Bridge program from our website.
After installing the program, the teacher will have access not only to the Photon EDU application but also to programs popular in education: Scratch and MakeCode, as well as JavaScript and Python programming languages.
Magnetic Masks (Basic)
Give the robot a unique personality with a set of 6 magnetic masks. Inside of it, you will find 5 ready-made masks along with a white mask which your students can design however they like!
Magnetic Masks DIY
Develop your students’ creativity by personalizing Photon masks and robots! The set includes 6 white masks that students can decorate freely.
Stickers for personalization
Stickers give Photon a unique character, thanks to which students are able to establish a bond with it faster. Moreover, they also make it easier to distinguish robots when there are more robots in the class.
There are stickers from the series: Veteran, Nature, Aqua, Mechanical – individually or in a set.
