pi-top CS & Robotics Class Pack
Looking to build or update a CS and Robotics class?
Everything in one place to teach Computer Science, AI, and Robotics. The pi-top team has developed a CS Dept. in a Box with curriculum aligned to CSTA standards. On Further (an interactive learning and coding platform), you’ll find electronics and robotics lessons to inspire beginner coders and content to challenge advanced engineers. The class pack is ideal for smaller class sizes or for team learning.

Integrated Teaching, Learning, and Class Management
Do you find teaching CS using hardware in the classroom a challenge? Further, the turnkey CS teaching platform, connects 300+ hours of premade CSTA-aligned lessons with the pi-top device for CS instruction. You can roster students using Clever or Google, customize and assign lessons, access teacher resources, deliver in-class or remote instruction, and track progress and assessment.
Beginner Level Coding and Robotics
Access beginner-level projects that can be used in CS classes and STEM classes. Students will use their creativity, mixing electronics and code to experience an introduction to programming while building problem-solving and computational thinking skills. With Block-pi, a block-based language, coding becomes more accessible and easier to understand.
Advanced Level Coding, Robotics, AI, and Machine Learning
With the advanced curriculum, students design, construct, and code complex projects using pi-top's custom lessons and code libraries. Premade courses are aligned with CSTA standards and focus on CS, robotics, gaming, and AI topics.
Applied STEM and Competitions
Push students to apply what they have learned in school by linking coding with STEM in pi-top’s interdisciplinary lessons—connect Geometry with AI and robotics or align Biology and Earth Sciences with code through smart agriculture. Want to hold robotics competitions within your class or school? Check out Block-pi and Python robotics based tasks here!
