Must-Haves for Every STEM Classroom: edMinds Robotics & Coding Kit
Written by edMinds
The Australian education landscape is rapidly evolving, and educators everywhere are seeking innovative ways to prepare students for the future. At the forefront of this movement is the exciting world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, with a particular emphasis on robotics and coding.
So, What’s edMinds’s Role Here?
edMinds is more than a brand; it’s a commitment to redefine the STEM educational experience. We envision a world where every child has a tool to unlock their full potential through STEM.
We specialise in providing premium robotics and coding educational kits that allow kids in Australia to build and program a variety of unique robots. Starting from age 4, our STEM educational kits enhance skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
More importantly, edMinds robot building kits promote SCREEN-FREE coding using innovative technologies such as coding boards and coding pens. Each kit is equipped with motors, gears, frames, LEDs, audio components, and sensors, PLUS detailed manuals and illustrated workbooks – allowing kids to try over ten unique robots at each level.
The advanced levels of our kits are compatible with SCRATCH, a popular programming language among children and introduce them to the concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
What’s more? edMinds kits offer a significant advantage – seamless integration with STEM education. Incorporating robotics curriculum into STEM isn't just about building robots. It's about equipping your students with the critical skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.
All in all, edMinds robotics educational kits are STEM-focused, user-friendly, safe, fun, and engaging, making them an excellent choice for classrooms.
Sneak-Peek at edMinds Robotics Educational Kits
UARO Series
Designed for young learners of age 4 and above, the UARO series playfully introduces basic coding concepts through engaging robotics activities. (perfect for computer-free learning!).
AIKIRO Series
Targeting students aged 7 and up, the AIKIRO series introduces more complex coding concepts like AI, allowing children to build and program their own robots.
Robo Series
The Robo series caters to children aged 8 and above. These kits challenge them to build advanced robots and explore more sophisticated coding concepts.
edMinds School Program is an initiative tailored for Australian schools, allowing them to access our STEM robotics products through a two-year subscription. Interested parties can contact edminds directly for more information about the program.
Teachers’ Perspective & Experience
According to Eloise O’Brien, a teacher, learning through play is a high value concept within education because it offers so many opportunities to any age group and ability. “with edMinds kits, kids were allowed to experiment” – Eloise explained.
Chantelle Wanklyn, another teacher shared her experience, “The level 1 robotics kits have been a fantastic addition to our Science class. The students are so engaged.” – a perfect example for the integration of robotics curriculum with STEM. “It is also building other skills like taking turns, sharing and supporting other members in their group.” – she added.
Melissa Horkings, the Science teacher from Meeniyan Primary School said – “it’s definitely both fun, and educational”
Let's work together to create classrooms that are ready for the future of learning!
