Photon Robot
Photon is an interdisciplinary robot designed to work with both younger and older students. Teachers can use it with our dedicated lesson scenarios or create their own to teach any subject.
The Photon Robot can be used at all levels of education, from kindergarten to 12th grade. Teach core competencies or expand your lessons about the planets and the solar system by taking the robot for a walk in space; take it to a meadow to learn about plants and bees; take it to a city to talk about road safety. The robot can be used to introduce colors, animals, or geometric shapes, or even to explain the concept of sustainable energy. Photon is also great for playing games aimed at learning mathematical operations and memorizing numbers. With the help of the robot, students can understand the correlation between the results and their operations.
All you need to conduct exciting classes
Photon Robot
This interactive robot is easy to use and ready to work straight out of the box.
Dedicated Apps
Free mobile and desktop apps are self-explanatory and compatible with most devices.
Professional development
Hundreds of ready-to-use lesson scenarios and ideas were made available online and in print.
A universal teaching tool for scientific mind development
Photon Robot helps teachers in everyday school activities. It’s easy to use thanks to its intuitive mobile and desktop apps. The robot stimulates students’ innate curiosity and involves their emotions, keeping them engaged in each lesson.
The robot can move with an accuracy of 0.5 in and turn around its axis with an accuracy of 5 degrees, which makes it a great tool for introducing concepts of measuring angles and geometric shapes. You can also draw any geometric figure using an attachable permanent marker holder. This provides many opportunities to carry out experimental activities on measurement or unit conversion.
The basics of Coding
Teachers are provided with a complete toolkit to support them and their students in their coding classes. Thousands of teachers around the world have seen increased student enthusiasm and engagement when working with the Photon Robot.
Advanced Programming Simplified
Working with the Photon robot, students develop their programming skills by running programs they create. They become more familiar with the technology and have the opportunity to learn scripting languages used by professional programmers. Using the robot encourages students to create problem simulations, develop algorithms and then test their ideas in a physical environment.
We have developed an innovative step-by-step approach that helps students discover the secrets of programming in a fun, approachable way.
Step 1: Photon Draw
Plan the robot’s route by drawing it with a finger on a screen. Perfect for learning the robot’s basic capabilities.
Step 2: Photon Badge
Program the robot with the help of instructive symbols. Introduce logical planning of the robot’s route.
Step 3: Photon Blocks
Program the robot by stacking blocks containing symbols known from previous interfaces. Teaches how to build more complex programs.
Step 4: Photon Code
Arrange text code sequences in form of blocks learned from the previous interface.
Next Steps? Code Using the Most Popular Tools
Scratch
A great entry-level tool for the youngest programmers. Build code in a user-friendly interface. Stack code blocks and program the Photon Robot, create animations, text, stories, music, and more.
Javascript
One of the most used coding languages. It’s widely used in web development and helps create interactive websites and mobile apps.
Python
Python is a universal programming language that professional programmers eagerly use. Students gain unlimited possibilities of software development, extending Python’s basic functions with Photon support functions.
