Wonder Workshop’s Dash and Dot are some of our favorite robotic solutions for elementary classrooms. These fun robots are perfect for introducing young students to the world of robotics and coding. It is a great start to STEM in elementary education. With planned activities, free app downloads and a range of engaging accessories – what’s not to love? Wonder Workshop is constantly working to make these solutions better and more accessible to students and teachers. Let’s check out their latest releases, the new Wonder App and the Launcher for Dash accessory.

Wonder App: A Creative Tool for Programming Robotics

The Wonder app is an incredible, creative tool designed to help elementary students delve into an entirely new coding language. It allows them to perform more advanced robotics tasks than ever before with the same easy to use platform introduced in previous Wonder Workshop apps.

The new Wonder app offers features that transform the way students learn and play. Some of these key features include:

• New experiences with Dot! (now sold separately)
  Transform Dot into any gadget or game to open the child’s eyes to what coding can do.
• Play without a screen
  Children can now transfer their code to their robot for endless fun without a phone or tablet.
• Wonder comes with over 300 challenges
  Take your kids on an exciting coding adventure all on their own with over 300 activities included. No grown-ups necessary!

Your students can use phone and/or tablets to easily create their own, real-world robots. Wonder Workshop solutions offer your classroom a stepping stone to more advanced education in robotics, engineering and technology. The Wonder App is the biggest app for Dash and Dot yet – available on iOS and Android platforms.

The Launcher for Dash

Wonder Workshop accessories help you explore various activities with Dash and Dot. The new Launcher for Dash accessory helps young students learn how simple machines, like a lever, can work. Easily snap the Launcher onto Dash and transform your robot into a projectile-launching machine. This package includes 3 projectiles and 6 stacking targets with LEGO® brick compatibility, allowing students the chance to build intricate targets.

Dot is Now Available

Dash’s stationary, yet delightful companion, Dot is now available for sale as a standalone product. Previously, Dot was only available in a package with its best friend. The truth is this little robot is capable of doing big things. Dot comes with several games that students can play right out of the box, including Magic Dot Ball, Dot of Music and Light Sword. Using the free apps Wonder and Blockly, students get to see how these games were created and even create their own games.

The Wonder Workshop apps come with puzzles to guide students through the process – no books or additional time required. Like Dash, Dot is also compatible with Wonder Workshop accessories. Build and program with Dot to inspire fun and promote lasting interest in STEM concepts.
