What Students Will Learn
This Smart Robot Dog provides a hands-on platform for students to explore core STEM concepts including robotics, programming logic, sensor integration, and human-machine interaction. Through voice commands, remote control, and app-based coding, learners will develop problem-solving skills, computational thinking, and an understanding of how algorithms control physical devices. Activities encourage iterative design, debugging, and creative application of technology.
Who It's For
Designed for students in Years 3 to 8, this product is ideal for Digital Technologies, Science, and integrated STEM F-10 programs. It supports differentiated learning, from basic remote control operation for younger students to voice programming and block-based coding for more advanced learners. Suitable for classroom, makerspace, and library settings.
Australian Curriculum Links
This resource directly supports the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies (Years 3-8) covering algorithms, data representation, and digital systems. In Science (Years 3-6), it links to physical sciences and forces. For STEM F-10, it addresses design and production processes, systems thinking, and the use of technologies to create solutions. Specific content descriptors include ACTDIK001, ACTDIP010, ACTDIP017, and ACSSU076.
Coding Platform
Students can program the Smart Robot Dog using the dedicated app, which offers a block-based coding interface suitable for beginners and intermediate coders. No coding experience is required for basic voice and remote control functions, making it accessible for all skill levels. The app is compatible with iOS and Android tablets and smartphones.
What's in the Box
Each Smart Robot Dog kit includes: 1 x programmable robot dog with built-in voice recognition module, 1 x remote control, 1 x USB charging cable, 1 x quick start guide, and access to the companion app. The robot features motors, sensors, and LED indicators. No additional tools or soldering required.
Classroom Setup & Requirements
To operate, each robot dog requires a tablet or smartphone (iOS or Android) with the free app installed. A stable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection is needed for app-based coding. The robot operates on a rechargeable battery (charger included). Recommended for groups of 2-3 students per robot. Ensure a clear, flat floor space for movement activities. Classroom management tip: assign a 'robot handler' role to rotate student responsibilities.
