Overview
A ready-built, app-driven robot for young children, with a turning head, lights, sounds and voice response. It suits elementary classrooms and families wanting screen-based block coding with no assembly and a large set of lessons. Wonder Workshop is now part of MORAVIA Education, which still sells the robot and runs the apps. It has no camera or line sensor, and text coding sits behind a paid subscription.
