Introduce your students to the coding skills they need to compete in our increasingly digital world. With mBot, a programmable STEM robot kit, students learn entry-level coding that extends beyond the screen and allows them to interact with the physical world.

Using mBlock™ software, based on Scratch, students easily program their mBot with drag and drop command blocks—prior coding experience is not required.

Each mBot features the following

  • Easy assembly, no soldering
    mBot assembles in 10–15 minutes and has color-labeled RJ25 ports for convenient wiring.
  • Drag-and-drop graphical programming
    mBlock app (IOS/Android) and software (Windows/OS/Chrome) are based on the popular Scratch software and provide a quick way to learn to code. As students advance, they can program mBot using the Arduino® IDE.
  • Programmed for fun
    mBot comes programmed with three preset control modes: obstacle-avoidance, line-following, and manual control to make implementing projects even easier.
  • Wirelessly connected
    mBot uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to automatically connect to mobile devices.
  • Endless creations
    mBot is compatible with the vast catalog of Makeblock platform components and most LEGO® pieces, so students are limited only by their imaginations.
