Dot and dash robot video kids
They can start out building simple programs, and soon learn how to make complex programs with Dash — all from within the app. Use the smartphone mount to have Dash help film a fun movie with your smartphone. Dot can be programmed to control Dash using our Blockly app — shake Dot and make Dash move, or hide Dot in the room and program Dash with Blockly to look for and do something once its sensors detect Dot.
Dot has many different ways for kids to program it; there are 4 buttons;. Dot also has lights in its eyes and ears that can change color, a speaker for playing sounds back including ones your child can record through their smartphone or iPad. Both Dash and Dot come fully assembled and ready to play right out of the box. With the included USB charging cable, you can plug them in, charge for 1 hour, and have over 3 hours of play time.
With Dash and Dot, learning code has never been more fun. There's a Dash and Dot app for every age group, learning level, and play style. Little learners can play with our apps that weave in music and movement. Blockly, a visual programming language created by Google, introduces more advanced play. Accessories include, but aren't limited to: Xylophone - Compose, loop, and play tunes while driving around. Bunny Ears and Tail - Wait, did you hear that? Bulldozer Bar - Get some serious work done with Dash's bulldozer bar.

Once you have the xylophone and mallet attached to Dash, the Xylo app takes you through a quick set up process. I used the xylophone with Dash when I did a centers type of rotation with groups. I did the xylophone set up once, so the kids wouldn't have to worry about it.
I also made a task card to help the kids access a demonstration video. You can watch the video here:. It was fun to watch the kids collaborate on songs! They are much better at writing music than I am!
You can download the Xylo task card here. Do you have a Dash xylophone? I would love to hear your creative ideas for using it in the classroom!
