Education, robots & stuff

Continuing the discussion from How to run workshops?:

Ah, you’ve outed me!

Yes, it’s a “Dash” from WonderWorkshop. I ordered it in their crowdfunding campaign a year or two back, it’s finally arrived, and the birthday for it’s unveiling is coming up. I’m hoping to use it pretty much as a more advanced, anthropomorphized version of a Logo Turtle-bot. Or that’s my story, at least. I have zero experience or skill as an edumacater, so we’ll see how it turns out. I’m sure the robot (and the kid) will do their parts just fine.

Cool idea! I have a Sphero from way back and was planning to use it as a fun intro to programming similar to a meatspace Logo Turtle as well since it supports macros and such…
