Many families want robotics experiences that go beyond a single toy into real projects and coding skills. TechyKids + Thymio pairs the Thymio educational robot with a structured online curriculum, camps, and projects that blend sensors, visual programming, and design challenges. TechyKids serves as the U.S. distributor for Thymio and has built courses where kids learn to program behaviors, integrate LEGO, and even create short films starring their robots.  Parents appreciate that lessons are classroom-tested by an educator who actually uses these robots with students. It’s ideal for upper-elementary and middle school kids who want more than just “drive the robot around.” Kits and courses are an investment and require a computer or tablet, but the depth of learning is strong. Pro tip: start with the beginner course and encourage kids to keep a project log, noting what code changes produced which behaviors.
