Parallax Cyber:bot 12-pack Plus

The cyber:bot 12-pack Plus is a one-box solution for implementing Python programming, robotics and other STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics in your classroom. Supported by free tutorials, software, and teacher training, our robots are designed to be beginner-friendly and engaging, while using real-world electronics to build transferable skills. There are 12 total robot sets, and each set includes (1) cyber:bot robot kit with micro:bit, plus our three most popular hardware accessories for additional activities. Designed to add a hardware dimension to Python-focused computer science, CTE, and cybersecurity programs, the cyber:bot is a joint project between Parallax and CYBER.ORG, the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center. Parallax’s web tutorials will guide you and your students step by step — just follow the checkmarks. First, learn a bit about Python programming on a micro:bit module Then, assemble the cyber:bot and make it move. Start building circuits on a breadboard, then make DIY sensor systems so the robots can navigate on their own. Experiment with the additional hardware kits for advanced navigation, and get ready for some classroom challenges. The hardware accessories include rotating Ping))) Distance Sensor and Brackets, QTI Line Follower kits for advanced navigation, and IR remotes for remote-control applications. In addition, this board accepts common electronics components on its breadboard for further experimentation — no proprietary connectors required.
