Robotics

Quoted for your school

Mai-Z is a robot mouse from 2Simple, built by Kitronik for the BBC micro:bit, that learners code from Grade R to Grade 7. They plan a route, give it instructions and watch it follow them, then find and fix what went wrong. Floor tiles turn the classroom into a little town to drive through.

What Mai-Z can do.

Follows a line
Sensors underneath follow the track on the line-following poster.
Senses obstacles and edges
A distance sensor spots what is ahead, and edge sensors notice the end of the table.
Lights and sounds
Four colour lights and a speaker that learners code to flash and play sounds.
Draws as it drives
A pen fits in the middle, so a route becomes a drawing on paper.
Pushes a ball
A scoop at the front pushes a table tennis ball, for a game of robot football.
Coded your way
Screen-free blocks, 2Code in Purple Mash, then MakeCode blocks or Python on the micro:bit.
A town to drive
36 floor tiles of roads, corners and places to drive to, in every Class and Group Set.
Charges by USB-C
Up to an hour on charge, then more than six hours of lessons, depending on use.

For Grade R to Grade 7, in the coding and robotics strands of the Coding and Robotics CAPS. Schools with Purple Mash also get units of work, lesson plans and slideshows for each grade.

The Mai-Z Class Set: eleven purple Mai-Z robots, a black storage tray with posters inside, floor tiles, table tennis balls, charging cables and markers
