Hello everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice from the community on selecting a coding robot or STEM kit suitable for young learners. I’ve been researching options that focus on hands-on learning, coding concepts, and creativity.
I recently came across Matatalab products, which seem designed for different age groups. I’m considering:
-
TaleBot Pro (for ages 3–5) – focuses on screen-free coding using physical coding blocks.
-
TaleBot Coding Robot Kit (for ages 3–6) – introduces basic programming concepts through interactive play.
-
VinciBot (for ages 8+) – offers coding with Scratch and Python, with some AI features.
-
Nous AI Set – for introducing AI concepts in an accessible way.
I like the idea of these robots using coding blocks or drag-and-drop interfaces, as well as being compatible with things like LEGO parts to encourage building and problem-solving.
I’d love to hear from those who’ve used similar coding robots or STEM kits:
-
How suitable are these for their intended age groups?
-
Are they durable and engaging for young learners over time?
-
If you’ve tried AI-related features or modules, do kids find them easy to use?
-
Any tips for helping kids get the most out of these kinds of kits?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences or recommendations — I’m eager to learn from the community before making a decision.
