Shifting blocks or programing them directly? The Thymio robot makes it easy to get started with programming. It also offers experienced users a wide range of possibilities. Thymio helps children and young people to better understand and grasp technologies.
Various universities came together to develop Thymio for the school curriculum. Now, children and young people of all ages can quickly and easily dive into the world of robotics and programming. With four different programming languages and, depending on age group, experience or interest, the user can generate new behavioral patterns. VPL connects events and actions with blocks. With ASEBA everything can be programmed text-based down to the smallest details. Blockly allows discovering programming concepts through math, logic, loops and variables. With Scratch video games can be created. In combination with Lego or Arts & Craft, unique solutions can be imagined, there are no limits to creativity!
Dressing up the Thymio and programming it for the game
The Thymio Alien is about to visit earth. It was turned into an Alien, imagined and designed by the children. Unfortunately, the robot has a rotten tooth, which is to be avoided. The children decide themselves, which tooth is rotten and have the task to program their Alien robot, so that it bites when a child from the opposite team approaches the bad tooth with a finger.
Programming Thymio robots to go through a labyrinth
With the help of Thymio robots, kids and teenagers get a first insight into programming with a visual programing language and learn to solve various robotic problems. Their task is to program their Thymio to independently go through a Labyrinth and find the way out. For older students, there is the possibility to program the robot with text-based instructions.
