The award winning Matalalab Tale-Bot Pro is a game changing educational toy robot for early learners on many different levels. Designed from the ground up and meticulously researched, the Tale-Bot Pro ticks all the boxes for robustness, accessibility, pedagogy and value. Tale-Bot Pro enables young learners to create their own interactive stories by coding the Tale-Bot, completely device free. Through game-based play, kids learn and improve their coding, storytelling, and social-emotional skills along with critical “21st century skills” of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Computational Thinking. The Tale-Bot Pro is a true STEAM product as not only does it teach coding but mathematics, science, art, music, and language as well, and all in ways that are sure to encourage and inspire learning. Matatalab Tale-Bot Pro is the perfect platform for your early learning students to experience a safe, even fun, place to make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and try again and again until they succeed. In comparison to the Bee Bot, the Tale Bot is a far more sturdier machine but beyond this has far more ability, and depth to learn about coding by way of the pedagogically integrated mats provided with the kit. The options for students to try coding the Tale Bot by themselves, or to listen to direct instruction for coding, allow for various stages of learning development. The instructions are clear, and the information provided on life cycles etc is succinct. The robot moves very smoothly and responds beautifully. I am yet to explore the ‘free’ options with the mats. The coding buttons are far easier to interpret, and the audio function is wonderful. The repetition of the coding sequence to the learner assists students to move beyond simply pressing to logically thinking. It is a wonderful means of decomposing the coded sequence and developing an understanding of the algorithm, meeting the Australian Curriculum standards well.Steve Carter | Director of eLearning | Burgmann Anglican School Read our detailed Tale-Bot Pro and Bee-Bot comparison Features at a Glance 100% Screen-free Teaches Commands, Sequences, Loops Smart interactive technology with object recognition and instant voice feedback Ability to record for imaginative storytelling Includes multiple accessories for additional functionality and personalisation Supports drawing and dancing through coding Track coding progress and and easily debug with intuitive LED display Change step size from 10 to 15 cm so you can use Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot mats Tale-Bot Pro Wins the Prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2022 Tale-Bot Pro won over the 132-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its innovative and kid-friendly design.
