The iRobot Root® Lite Class Pack (6-Pack) is a hands-on STEM and coding solution designed for classrooms, makerspaces, and robotics programs. Featuring six Root® Lite (rt0) coding robots, this bundle enables students to explore programming through interactive activities like drawing, music, movement, and real-world problem solving. Built for beginner through intermediate learners, the Root® Lite uses a progressive coding platform that evolves from graphical block coding to hybrid and full-text programming, including Python. Designed for horizontal surface use, this classroom pack is ideal for collaborative group learning and scalable STEM instruction. 🤖 Key Features 6-Robot Classroom Pack: Perfect for small group learning (2–4 students per robot). Beginner-Friendly Robotics: Designed for early coding learners with intuitive controls and interactive feedback. 3 Coding Levels: Graphical, hybrid, and full-text coding including Python pathways. Draw & Create: Built-in marker holder enables students to program robots to draw shapes, patterns, and designs. Interactive Sensors: Over 20 onboard sensors allow robots to respond to touch, light, movement, and obstacles. LED Lights & Sound: Code visual effects and musical outputs for engaging, multi-sensory learning. Bluetooth® Connectivity: Connects easily to classroom devices using BLE technology. Creative STEM Learning: Combines coding with art, music, and problem-solving activities. Designed for Shared Environments: Ideal for classroom rotations, coding stations, and group work. 📦 What’s Included 6 × Root® Lite (rt0) Coding Robots 6 × Fold-out whiteboard grids 6 × Dry erase markers 6 × Microfiber cleaning cloths 6 × Vinyl cling sticker sheets 6 × USB charging cables Printable Learning Level 1 curriculum guide 1-Year premium educator content subscription (up to 6 devices) 🧠 Coding & Learning Experience Graphical Coding: Drag-and-drop blocks for beginner learners with no reading required Hybrid Coding: Combines visual blocks with text-based elements Full-Text Coding: Supports structured programming including Python Simulation + Real Robot: Practice coding virtually, then apply to physical robots Creative Exploration: Integrates art, music, and robotics into coding lessons 🏫 Classroom Benefits Collaborative Learning: Designed for small group instruction and shared device environments Scalable STEM Programs: Ideal for classrooms, labs, and district-wide implementation Differentiated Instruction: Supports multiple skill levels in one classroom Cross-Curricular Integration: Combines STEM, STEAM, math, science, and creative learning 🔌 Device Compatibility Works with Bluetooth®-enabled devices using the iRobot Coding platform: Chromebooks and school laptops Windows and macOS computers iPads, iPhones, and Android tablets Browser-based coding via code.irobot.com 📦 Technical Specifications Feature Details Model 4757613 Root® Lite Class Pack Robot Type Root® Lite rt0 Coding Robot Pack Size 6 robots Connectivity Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Battery Rechargeable 2600 mAh Lithium-Ion Charge Time ~2 hours Runtime Up to ~2 hours continuous use Sensors Capacitive touch zones, bump sensors, light sensors, wheel encoders, gyroscope, accelerometer Outputs Drive motors, multi-color LEDs, speaker, marker lift mechanism Interactive Features Drive, draw, glow, play music, respond to touch and environment Coding Levels Graphical, Hybrid, Full-Text (Python) Recommended Use Classrooms, STEM labs, coding programs, makerspaces 🚀 What Students Can Do Program robots to move, turn, and navigate environments Create drawings, shapes, and patterns Build music and sound-based coding projects Use sensors to respond to touch, light, and obstacles Explore real-world coding applications and logic 📚 Ideal For Elementary and middle school STEM classrooms Coding and robotics programs Makerspaces and innovation labs After-school enrichment programs School and district technology initiatives Looking to build a scalable STEM program?
