Robotics Education for Kids: Bittle X Coding Robot at Envision Summer Camp

At Petoi, our global partners are at the forefront of testing, experimenting, and showcasing our latest and greatest tech to the rest of the world! One such story comes from our long-time partner Envision Robotics, a leader in STEM education from Toronto, Canada. In this article, we'll explore how Envision Robotics has been working with Petoi to provide world-class robotics education to young students with their exceptional robotics camps and curriculum. We'll also see Petoi robotics in action and learn what you can expect as a student from a premier robotics camp.

In today's online and fast-moving robotics landscape, it's becoming essential to offer practical, hands-on robotics education to kids: to assemble, construct, program, and tinker with various robots to get a strong understanding of robotics principles. This entails not just studying theory, writing lines of code, but also applying what is learned with programmable robots and sophisticated robot kits. This is where Envision Robotics comes in, with classes, camps, and fun school programs designed for students from ages 5 up to 14. Envision Robotics has something for everyone. From Applied Robotics courses to STEM and coding robots to Python programming, they have a wide array of regular classes, summer camps, and lunchtime school STEM programs available for kids.

Below is a highlight from Envision Robotics summer camp, where students got to learn how to code, assemble, and play with Bittle X

What's amazing about Envision is that they ensure that students work with multiple best-in-class STEM robot-building kits so that students can continuously learn and dabble with new tech. This keeps things fresh & reduces repetition, enabling students to learn more programming languages, mechatronics, and robotics techniques, while familiarizing them with novel hardware and software currently used in the robotics markets. Here's an example of Petoi Bittle X being prepared for a robotics class:

 

As you can see from the video above, Bittle robots are used in schools and classrooms to teach young kids the foundations of programming languages through simple block based coding . Kids can use something similar to a Scratch robotics coding environment and just drag and drop coding blocks to initiate movement and interact with their robot pets.

Petoi's cute programmable robot dogs and cats are a breeze for anyone learning robotics. They are small, easy to assemble and use, and make learning fun for teachers and students! Below, you can see how Bittle X was integrated into Envision Robotics' 2024 summer camp.

Our team at Petoi is grateful for our continued partnership with Envision Robotics and is looking forward to how our robots will integrate with their robotics curriculum and summer camps in 2025 and beyond! We wish them all the very best for the future and would love to see them help more students on their STEM & robotics journeys.

Looking to integrate Petoi's robots into your school, college, or university's robotics curricula and classes? From K-12 to high school and beyond, with Petoi's free robotics curriculums, there is something for all learners: from beginner to advanced!
