We added the databot kits to our offerings just a few months back and this small, cube-shaped robot is certainly now a powerhouse when it comes to STEAM education—even in the remote variety. Using its on-board sensors, which include air pressure, altitude, CO2, and humidity sensors, the device is capable of collecting a whole lot of real-world information.
Kid Spark’s Mobile STEM Labs combine hands-on experience with robust, NGSS-aligned curriculum to inspire lifelong learning and teaching in STEM.
