Edison

INTRO

The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching kids computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way.

With more built-in sensors than any robot in its class as well as lights, sounds, and autonomous behavior capabilities, Edison makes true robotics education accessible to students of all ages.

Not just a remote-controlled robot, Edison can:

Respond to light and sound
Follow lines and avoid obstacles
Communicate with other Edison robots
Connect to other Edison robots and LEGO bricks
And so much more!
