Here comes Maqueen – micro:bit educational programming robot platform
Maqueen is an easy-to-use micro:bit programming robot for STEAM education, which inherits the playability and simple operation of micro:bit. With a mini body, play-and-play, it allows students to quickly learn graphical programming in an entertaining way while nurturing their interests in science and logical thinking.
Suggest Age: 8 +
Maqueen is accessible to Mind+ Programming platform now. Mind+ is a graphical programming platform from DFRobot, supporting Python, Arduino, and other programming platforms. At present, Mind+ has been applied to all kinds of sensors, modules, and related educational products.
