WhalesBot B3 Pro - Coding with Cards and Pen

£149.00

Innovative Design
Curriculum Aligned

Code with a pen and cards instead of screens. This kit introduces programming through 12 buildable robot models—children scan coding cards with the smart pen to create sequences their robots follow. Build everything from vehicles to mechanical animals using 67 building pieces.

The wireless pen connects to the controller via Bluetooth. Scan cards directly for instant commands, or arrange multiple cards to create longer sequences. Story-based guidebooks introduce coding concepts through adventures.

What's included:

67 building pieces
Smart coding pen with wireless connectivity
Set of coding cards
Controller with 2 motors, LED, and speaker
2 story-based course books

Suitable for children aged 4 years and up

Further Information

What's Included: Smart coding pen with Bluetooth connectivity, set of coding cards (movement, sounds, loops, functions), controller with 2 closed-loop motors, color LED, speaker, 430mAh rechargeable battery, 67 building pieces with rounded corners, 2 story-based course books ("Inspiring Inventions" and "Fun Drives"), USB charging cable.

About the Brand: WhalesBot specializes in screen-free STEAM education for ages 3-22. Founded by educational experts, they create progressive robotics kits that teach coding concepts through hands-on physical interaction.

How It Works: Children arrange coding cards in the sequence they want, then scan each card with the smart pen. The pen wirelessly transmits commands to the robot controller. The robot executes the sequence—move forward, turn, make sounds, light up. Cards include movement, sounds, loops, and function commands.

Programming Modes: Direct mode (scan one card, robot responds immediately) or sequence mode (arrange multiple cards, scan in order to create longer programs). Introduces fundamental coding concepts: sequencing, loops, and functions.

Screen-Free Advantage: No tablets, phones, or computers required. Physical cards and pen interaction develops fine motor skills whilst teaching programming logic. Rounded corner blocks ensure safe handling for younger children.

Learning Resources: Two story-based course books with 12 guided projects. Each project introduces new coding concepts through engaging narratives. Free sample courses available from WhalesBot website.
