Dash and Dot

Dash and Dot are programmable robots that are programmed using either the Wonder app (great for lower elementary) or the Blockly app (appropriate for upper elementary). They connect to iPads via Bluetooth. Dash and Dot robots are currently available at Del Rey and Glorietta.

The Wonder app is best for lower elementary. It offers students a series of programming challenges.

The Blockly app is best for upper elementary. It offers students a series of programming challenges.

Here are a few easy steps for booking a robotics session:

Reserve your robots: Use the STEM Google Calendar to reserve the device of your choice. Be sure to state your name and which robot you will be using when creating the Event (e.g. Cutler Dash).
Gather your robots: All robots are kept in the closet in the STEM Lab.
Reserve an iPad cart: Dash and Dot are programmed using an iPad. If you do not have a class set of iPads, be sure to reserve an iPad cart for your session using Google Calendar.
Book a coach: The tech coach is here to help! Of course, there is no obligation to book a tech coach if you are comfortable with the devices, but the tech coach would be happy to help if you would like assistance in launching robotics in your class. Please use the Tech TOSA booking calendar to book a session.

Wonder has written lessons across a variety of subject areas for the Dash and Dot robots. Check these out:
