This is a great group activity so 8-10 Dashes is plenty for an average class size. Working in groups of 2-4 is ideal. Robots are pre-named so each group can identify their robot.
Description: Dash is an interactive robot that has several compatible apps. It can move around, record your voice, sing, dance and be programmed using block-based coding using its own form of Blockly. Dash is great for group activities including navigating mazes! Dot can be described as "the brains of a robot" and does not move, but can be used to teach various coding concepts.
