INVENTOR ROBOTIZED – GinoBot with extra motor & 10 bonus models
IN90The new INVENTOR MECHANICS series has a thematic approach with multi model capabilities, featuring an impressive main model. A new library of patent-pending components has been added to the ENGINO® system which enhances both aesthetics and technical features. These parts include high-precession wheels, mechanisms and snap-fit curved surfaces. The smaller sets in the series are suitable for 7 year old, while older children are challenged with the bigger sets which also include a geared motor. The top of range steps-up the complexity with Robotics technology, Bluetooth connectivity and software control.
Meet the GinoBot
GinoBot is a highly programmable robot ready to be used straight out of the box. Developed by a high-level research team of engineers and academics, GinoBot is a unique tool for teaching STEM disciplines, computational thinking and digital literacy with fun and hands-on experiential activities.
GinoBot is the robot that helps students explore divergent projects in a broad range of levels. It has literally unlimited expansion potential since it allows the attachment of add-on 3rd party electronics and hardware like a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and micro:bit. Besides its internal sensors and its expandability with 3rd party electronics, the body of GinoBot is also compatible with the ENGINO® building system to construct larger and more sophisticated robots.
From Plug & Play robot…
The innovation of GinoBot lies within its core design. It is expandable and adaptable to a very broad range of features to match the classroom needs of different ages. Plug&play robots are commonly used in pre-school and early primary classrooms in order to teach algorithmic and computational thinking. GinoBot is an ideal plug&play robot since it allows manual programming and wireless control that allows teaching the fundamental steps of programming.
… To high-end coding and electronics
The upgradable potential of GinoBot is essentially unlimited due to its compatibility with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and micro:bit. Teaching real programming languages such as C/C++ and Python can easily be adopted in a classroom, while maintaining fun, entertainment and motivation to the students. The advantage of working in open projects materializes through this holistic solution that combines mechanics with software and electronics.
GinoBot comes in various editions to allow different possibilities depending on schools budget, age of students and complexity required.
