zSpace is a laptop that combines augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It can help students learn complex concepts by allowing them to interact with 3D objects and concepts in a new way.

With zSpace, users have the Ability to Look Around virtual objects as if they are real. The position and orientation of the objects are updated in real-time as the person moves their head, creating both a realistic and comfortable viewing experience.

Intended Users: Teachers designing lessons and high school students and their PBL

Platform: Hardware Laptop

Use case: Students can use zSpace to interact with virtual objects in a tactile way. For example, a teacher can display a human heart in front of students and use a pen to remove walls and look inside. Students can also move the heart around as if it were in their hand, and zoom in and out to examine it more closely.

The Blue-Bot is a programmable floor robot that can be used to teach children basic control. It's transparent, allowing children to see the components inside and learn about the robot's electronics.

Intended Users: Elementary Students

Platform: App works on Android, iOS

Use case: Students can interact with Blue-Bot by using the movement commands, directional buttons, or the Blue-Bot app. They can also use Blue-Bot to create stories, explore math concepts, and build obstacle courses.

Review: https://www.commonsense.org/education/reviews/blue-bot

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Blue-Bot ® programmable floor robot is the perfect place to start when teaching children the basics of control. Unique features, such as its clear shell, enable children to see the components inside and discover the inner workings of the robot and its electronics. Blue-Bots are also Bluetooth enabled and can detect one another, record audio, and play back custom sounds when each button is pressed, making it an accessible solution to all students, including those with auditory or visual processing needs. Plus, the Blue-Bot is rechargeable, so no need to worry about replacing costly batteries.

When it comes to programming Blue-Bot, you've got options! Little learners who are new to control can program Blue-Bot using the buttons on the robot. The TacTile Code Reader (sold separately) provides another fun, kinesthetic way for students to plan out, test, and debug their code. Blue-Bot is also capable of connecting to tablets enabling the solution to grow with your students as they become more confident coders.

There are two apps available for controlling your Blue-Bot wirelessly. The Blue-Bot app enables users to code their robot using remote control functionality. Blue's Blocs is an app complementary to the Blue-Bot, which allows for expansion of knowledge and teaching at greater depth in elementary computer science. Using a familiar block-based environment, students can program their Blue-Bot using extended functionality, which includes decision-making, numerical functions, Boolean operators, and the introduction of variables. The Blue's Blocs app is compatible with Chromebooks, iOS, and Android.

By seamlessly connecting the physical Blue-Bot device to the app via Bluetooth connection, students can kinesthetically embed computational concepts in their learning.

Available for download are user guides and teacher's guides to walk you through getting started and enhancing hands-on learning experiences.

Robo Code is an app that works with the Robo Wunderkind robotics kit. The kit is a modular robot with color-coded blocks that can be connected to each other via Bluetooth. The kit also includes physical blocks with special tools like proximity sensors, motion detectors, and lights.

Intended Users: K-8 Students

Platform: Hardware with app supporting on Android, iOS

Use case: A student in grade 6 is learning about programming and robotics. They use the Robo Wunderkind kit to build a robot that can follow a line. They use the Robo Code app to program the robot to move forward when it sees a black line and to turn when it sees a white line. The student tests the robot on a course with a black line, and the robot successfully follows the line to the end of the course.

Review: https://www.commonsense.org/education/reviews/robo-code

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Problem Solving: Robo Wunderkind teaches children to see the flip side of a problem - a challenge they can't wait to tackle. Challenges close to real-life allow them to figure it out on their own by trying over and over again.

Creative thinking: With Robo Wunderkind anything that can be imagined can be built, coded and controlled. It can unlock children's creativity in unknown ways. Instead of following a set of instructions, they can experiment and see their creations come to life.

Learning STEM: With our school curriculum and resources for home, children can learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Fun and playful STEM education is the key to children's interest and engagement, and that's exactly what you can achieve with Robo Wunderkind.

Logical thinking: When building, coding and playing with Robo Wunderkind, children have to break down tasks into smaller bits. This teaches them the connection between cause and consequence, abstraction of involved parts and how to assign properties to individual events.

Cooperative play: Robo Wunderkind teaches children that their peers are teammates instead of competitors. By joining forces, they can come up with the best project or solution, teaching them vital communication & negotiation skills.

Computer Science: Tech isn't going anywhere. So the sooner the children know how to use it positively and responsibly the better. Robo Wunderkind teaches them coding, how systems and computers work, and much more.
