Edison V3 is a programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for programming and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years old. Edison V3 features a rechargeable battery, which offers 60 minutes of uninterrupted ride time and is accessible for replacement when the internal battery reaches the end of its functional life. The Edison V3 connects directly to a computer via USB. The cable is attached to the underside of the Edison and can be neatly tucked away when not in use The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching computational thinking and computer programming to children in a hands-on way. With more built-in sensors than any other robot in its class, as well as lights, sounds and autonomous behavior capabilities, Edison makes real robotics education accessible to students of all ages Students can embark on their journey into robotics, programming and STEM education using Edison with three progressive programming languages (EdBlocks, EdScratch and EdPy). Students can learn the fundamentals of coding as they progress from drag-and-drop icon-based programming to programming in a vertical text-based language Edison can also be used for building and inventing as a programmable foundation for an incredible range of engineering and STEM projects thanks to Edison’s scalable robotics system, which works with the EdCreate build kit and any other LEGO brick-compatible build system
