UBTECH uKit Explore Classpack Grades: 6-8 (or advanced level students) Number of Students: 16-32 (2-4 per kit) Number of Robot Builds: 38 Contact Hours: 54-68+ Additional Resources: uCode Software, uCode Resources & Activities Highlights: Bundle to save when looking for a supplemental integrated STEM support system for your school. UKIT Class Pack bundles are the perfect solution to adding robotics into your classroom! The UBTECH uKit Explore Classpack comes with 8 Explore kits. uKit Explore, formerly UKIT Advanced, offers an open-ended approach to robotics and coding for the more experienced roboticists in your classroom. With a more sophisticated and versatile tool set, uKit Explore provides an in-depth look at the mechanics, electronics, and programming behind real high-tech robotics. This kit is recommended for middle to high school. Software: uCode, see also: uCode Resources & Activities Recommended implementation: 2-4 students per uKit Compatible devices: Chromebooks, laptops, or desktop computers equipped with a USB port Curriculum or Lesson Topics: You receive the following curriculum with the purchase of a uKit Explore: STEM Curriculum These units are aligned to Grades 6-8 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and include science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, cross-curricular connections, and an interactive digital student notebook. Working with Circuits Curriculum This curriculum provides an introduction to the complete circuitry kit included with the uKit Explore. Detailed tutorials and 15 circuitry activities with sample codes familiarize students with the fundamentals of circuitry and electrical engineering. Using Arduino IDE, students interact and program the uKit microcontroller to expand their coding skills to text-based programming using C/C++. UKIT Spark Starters These open-ended challenges allow students the opportunity to build their own robots to complete a specific task. Spark Starters are great for class challenges, makerspaces, camps, before/afterschool clubs, and group activities. AI Foundations Curriculum Requiring no hardware, this curriculum provides online resources, unplugged activities, and hands-on lessons to teach basic artificial intelligence and computer science concepts.

Other Notable Features: Teach with uCode uCode is the web programming environment that takes machine learning to the next level. Students of all levels can program using block-based coding and dual text-based programming. uCode not only programs uKit Explore robots but goes above and beyond, allowing students to create digital games and animations, code 3D simulations, and utilize real-time AI programming. 3D, 360-degree build instructions for 38 robots AI-integrated blocks and machine model training environment 3 programming environments: Stage, Upload, and 3D In order to connect the uKit Explore board within uCode, users must install and open the uCode Connection Assistant (PC or Mac) as prompted when trying to connect. uCode is optimized for Google Chrome and best runs within the Chrome browser. Program with Arduino IDE The uKit Explore programming board is also fully compatible with the Arduino programming environment. The Arduino IDE is an open-source platform that allows users to write programs and upload to multiple micro-controllers. Download Arduino IDE here.
