🤖 Enhance Coding Skills with the Educational Insights Artie Robot Review

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who has never tried programming before. This is a great toy for beginners. First, it's extremely easy to set up, and once connected to a computer, Artie's interface is extremely easy to use. I love how easy the drop down menus are making it easy for her to navigate on her own. You can either use the default options or add your own. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to help their kids get started in the coding department.

My 7 year old used it once to draw a hangman game, got bored of it and has sat up ever since. Artie worked fine. Just drawing circles and squares isn't that exciting. I'm a programmer and I wasn't interested in Artie either. When writing code, if your program consists of more than one page (which is easy), it is difficult to drag the next step to the bottom of the page. You end up dragging it to the middle of the program without realizing it and now your program crashes. This makes it difficult

Benefits Great worksheet to get you started for kids who want to dive into coding without much knowledge Has presets for younger kids already in the app Has layers with different coding options for older kids Easy to clean (toddlers have everything sticky ) Durable (kid threw it on the tile. Still works great) Cons: The lines in the pattern sometimes didn't match up (could be user error or we might have to glue paper) Didn't move from the pattern once done, so you have to pick it up. Not a big…

That thing is so cool! I think my nephew will have a lot of fun with this robot. I love that it combines art with code to utilize both the left side (problem solving and math) and the right side (drawing and design) of your brain! I just started one of the first maze drawing projects. An introduction to procedure coding is very valuable for those who are just starting out. I wish it had the same example projects in all supported languages. The simulation option was helpful so I could see what…

A great experience from the first time you open the box! Artie is very sweet and the packaging and accessories are high quality and look beautiful. The quick start guide is handy and the numbered lessons tell us what we can do and how to make the magic happen. It really seems magical to use this drag and drop code and then watch our little robot follow our instructions. Draw on paper right before your eyes. It's like the code comes to life! Lessons are ordered from easy to hard, even if you…

I tinkered with this before introducing it to my kids. He has many options. The simulator is very helpful in deciding how to set up your drawing. Connecting is not difficult, sometimes you need to update, but after connecting everything is very simple and reliable. Kids love creating pre-coded shapes or just letting him run around. Not many destinations. I would say the age should be at least 10+ not 7. Kids can do this. When you're not watching them, they tear it right off the paper and…

Artie 3000 is a cool drawing and coding robot. It comes with assembly instructions, 4 markers, a marker aligner and 3 activity sheets. It requires four AA batteries and a computer or tablet to run the coding interface. You put the marker in the compartment on the top of his head. You use the round piece of plastic to indicate how far to insert the marker. Place a piece of paper on the surface. Make sure to tape paper around the corners so it stays in place when Artie runs. The recommended age…

My dad became a programmer in the early 80's so I've been with computers for as long as I can remember - when I told him about him, the little one Robots, he was skeptical but intrigued. I asked him to help my kids (10, 8, 5 and 4 years old) set up and take their first steps and we were ALL impressed. First, Artie is amazing; not necessary for work, but certainly worth mentioning. Setup is very easy and while we didn't need it, I later saw a quick setup video that showed the steps so easily my…
