Further Information

What's Included: 135+ structural parts with 29 types of standard 10mm building blocks, We Code Pad (screen-free coding controller), ultrasonic sensor, 2 intelligent motors (5V), robot controller with Bluetooth (32-bit processor, 780mAh lithium battery, 3 indicator lights, speaker), story guidebooks, and free access to online learning course.

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 without screens, building genuine understanding through hands-on programming.

What You'll Learn: Sequential logic and programming fundamentals, structure design and mechanical assembly, sensor integration and obstacle detection, problem-solving through guided projects, spatial awareness and fine motor skills. Each of the 12 projects introduces new concepts progressively.

How It Works: Children create programmes by pressing buttons on the We Code Pad to build command sequences (move forward, turn, detect obstacles). The pad connects to the robot controller via Bluetooth. When they press 'execute', the robot performs the programmed actions—providing immediate, tangible feedback on their code.

Screen-Free Advantage: The physical We Code Pad teaches programming logic without screen time. Children manipulate real buttons and see real robots move, connecting abstract coding concepts to physical outcomes.

You'll Also Need: 3 AAA batteries for the We Code Pad (not included). Rechargeable battery for robot controller included with USB charging cable.

Warranty: 12-month manufacturer warranty from WhalesBot

Why we like it

The We Code Pad is brilliantly simple: children press directional buttons and commands to create sequences, then watch their robots execute the code. It's tactile, immediate, and builds real understanding of how programming works.

What makes this particularly effective is how the 12 guided projects introduce concepts progressively—starting with basic movement, then adding sensor functions like obstacle detection. The screwless building system means children spend time programming rather than struggling with assembly. Works perfectly for Key Stage 1 pupils ready to move beyond basic robotics.
