Edison V3 is the latest version of the popular programmable robot designed to be a complete STEM teaching resource for coding and robotics education for students from 4 to 16 years of age. V3 brings a significant number of new features and enhancements that make Edison an even more effective platform for engaging learners in any environment.
Edison V3 features an all-new rechargeable battery, which offers 60 minutes of uninterrupted driving time and is accessible for replacement when the internal battery reaches the end of its operational lifetime. Edison V3 connects directly to a computer via USB. The cable is attached to the underside of Edison and can be tucked away neatly when not in use.
The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching children computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way. With more built-in sensors than any robot in its class as well as lights, sounds and autonomous behaviour capabilities, Edison makes true robotics education accessible to students of all ages.
Students can progress their robotics, coding and STEM education journeys 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 coding in a vertical text-based language.
Edison can also be used to build and invent as the programmable base for an incredible range of engineering and STEM projects thanks to Edison’s expandable robotics system which works with the EdCreate construction kit and any other LEGO brick-compatible building system.
