Photon Robot: A Versatile Learning Tool
The interdisciplinary Photon Robot is designed for students of all ages, from Junior Infants to Leaving Certificate. Teachers can use ready-made lesson plans or create their own to teach a variety of subjects.
Engaging Learning Experiences
The Photon Robot makes it easy to explore different topics, whether it's learning about planets in the solar system, investigating plants and bees in a meadow, or discussing road safety in a city. Use the robot to introduce concepts like colours, animals, and geometric shapes, or to explain sustainable energy. It's also perfect for fun games that reinforce mathematical operations and help students practice number recognition by matching results to operations.
User-Friendly Features
- Intuitive Design: The Photon Robot is ready to use straight out of the box.
- Dedicated Apps: Free mobile and desktop apps are easy to navigate and compatible with most devices.
- Professional Development: Access hundreds of ready-to-use lesson plans and teaching ideas, both online and in print.
A Universal Teaching Tool
Photon Robot enhances everyday school activities, sparking students’ curiosity and keeping them engaged. It moves with an accuracy of 0.5 inches and can turn with a precision of 5 degrees, making it ideal for teaching concepts like measuring angles and geometric shapes. With an attachable permanent marker, students can draw geometric figures, opening up numerous opportunities for hands-on learning about measurements and conversions.
Basics of Coding Made Fun
Teachers receive a complete toolkit that supports both them and their students in programming. Many educators worldwide have noted increased enthusiasm and engagement when using the Photon Robot.
Simplified Advanced Programming
Students develop their programming skills by bringing their code to life with the robot. This hands-on experience helps them learn scripting languages used in the industry, such as:
- Scratch: An easy-to-use tool for beginners that lets students build code by stacking blocks. They can animate stories, create music, and more.
- JavaScript: A popular coding language essential for web development and creating interactive applications.
- Python: A versatile programming language that allows for extensive software development and is used by professionals.
- Apple Swift: A fun way to learn Swift, the language behind many popular apps.
Step-by-Step Learning Path
- Photon Draw: Students draw the robot's path with a finger to learn its basic functions.
- Photon Badge: They program the robot using simple symbols, introducing logical route planning.
- Photon Blocks: Students stack blocks containing familiar symbols to create more complex programs.
- Photon Code: They arrange text code sequences based on the previous interfaces.
Next Steps
The Photon Robot is available independently or as part of teaching kits, making it an excellent resource for fostering curiosity and creativity in the classroom. By integrating fun with learning, it prepares students for the future, helping them develop essential skills in technology and programming.
