Arduino Alvik

The Arduino Alvik is a powerful, precise, and versatile robot designed for programming and robotics education. Alvik’s pocket-size build makes it an ideal tool for use in the classroom, makerspaces, and after school. Alvik offers middle school students a diverse learning path through block-based, Arduino C, and MicroPython programming. Through 11 engaging lessons, students program their robot to complete a set of coding and math challenges linked to real-world industry robots. The NGSS and CSTA-aligned curriculum enables students to explore robotics, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. From an obstacle avoidance robot to a smart warehouse automation robot car, the possibilities are endless! Key learning values: Enhances comprehension and retention of complex STEM concepts Program the robot in Arduino C and MicroPython Encourages creativity and teamwork as students develop coding skills Fosters problem-solving and critical-thinking skills through design challenges and troubleshooting issues Alvik is powered by the versatile Nano ESP32. The robot’s time of flight, RGB color, and line-following array sensors, along with its 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, allow users to tackle a range of innovative, real-world projects. Alvik features connectors for LEGO® Technic™ and M3 screws, and it is also compatible with 3-D printing and laser cutting design. Plus, the robot’s rechargeable and easy-to-replace battery ensures continuous learning sessions and an uninterrupted creation experience.
