The iRobot RT201 Root® rt1 Coding Robot Intro Pack - 2 Pack is a classroom-ready STEM and coding solution designed for small group instruction, teacher demonstrations, makerspaces, intervention groups, and introductory robotics programs. This bundle includes two Root® rt1 coding robots plus curriculum resources and accessories to help students explore coding through movement, drawing, music, touch interaction, color sensing, and problem-solving. Built for learners ranging from pre-readers to more advanced coders, the Root® rt1 works with the iRobot® Coding platform’s three progressive learning levels: graphical coding, hybrid coding, and full-text coding including Python. Its premium rt1 feature set adds magnetic whiteboard climbing, built-in erasing, and RGB color sensing for highly interactive cross-curricular classroom activities. 🤖 Key Features Complete 2-robot intro pack: A practical starter bundle for teacher-led instruction, pilot programs, enrichment, and small group STEM learning. 3 progressive coding levels: Supports graphical coding, hybrid coding, and full-text coding to grow with student skill levels. Python-supported coding path: Helps students transition from beginner-friendly coding to more advanced text-based programming. Magnetic whiteboard climbing: Root® rt1 can travel across magnetic whiteboards for vertical demonstrations and whole-group activities. Draw and erase functionality: Program the robot to lower markers for drawing and use the built-in eraser on dry-erase whiteboard surfaces. 32 optical color sensors: Detects colors across the RGB spectrum for path following, obstacle challenges, music activities, and creative coding. Tap and touch interaction: Four top tap zones allow students to trigger commands and interactive responses. Lights, music, and motion: Code the robot to glow, flash, move, react, and play musical compositions. Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity: Connects to supported devices and compatible browsers for flexible classroom use. Cross-curricular learning: Supports coding, robotics, STEM, STEAM, math, science, art, and project-based learning. 📦 What’s Included 2 × Root® rt1 Coding Robots 2 × Fold-out whiteboard grids 4 × Dry erase markers 2 × Dry erase cloths 2 × Sets of vinyl cling stickers 2 × Charging cables Printable Learning Level 1 curriculum guide 1-year subscription to Premium Educator Content for up to 6 devices 🧠 Coding & Learning Experience Graphical coding: Drag-and-drop coding blocks support foundational logic skills with no reading required. Hybrid coding: Helps students build fluency by combining symbols and code script. Full-text coding: Supports deeper coding structure and syntax, including Python-based learning. Virtual and physical practice: Students can work in the iRobot Coding environment and then connect to real robots.
