General information and image
Citilab encourages children to become competent in 21st century skills, boosting creativity, analytical thinking and innovation.
The Citilab ED1 robotics kit has resulted from the need to transform some typical classroom practices as part of the EduLab project. In relation to the document “The Future of Education and Skills: Education 2030”, which identifies numerous challenges facing society today, we wanted to design a tool that helps promote this change.
In addition, the Citilab ED1 Kit facilitates experimentation with the STEAM disciplines, but it is also a good tool for developing interdisciplinary activities involving other curricular content in a motivating and innovative way.
The ED1 board, designed by Citilab, is programmed with the microBlocks environment, a new visual programming language for blocks similar to Scratch, which works within the board and allows both interactive and autonomous projects to be worked on transparently.
The kit includes all the materials needed to assemble the Fantastic robot: the ED1 board, the motors, the USB cable and the battery. There is also the possibility of customising the robot using a model pattern to make it easier to create an outfit.
The robot’s application is very wide because it can be used by children aged three, up to adults. There are different user levels that must be consulted before use.
Finally, it should be noted that the ED1 board and the robot’s chassis design are open, enabling the product to be improved and modifications to be made as required. Its price has also been adjusted as much as possible, so that it can reach the widest possible audience.
