Photon Robot - teacher's assistant
Photon Robot awakens the curiosity of students and motivates them to learn new technologies. Classes with Photon Robot help teachers create educational situations conducive to building interest in programming and STEM subjects.
Helps in the implementation of classes
Using Photon Robot during classes teaches children how to work in a group, arouses their curiosity and engages emotions. A rich set of lessons adapted to the core curriculum is available for conducting classes. The robot is adapted to work both in early school education and in grades 4-8.
Don't waste your time on technical problems
Photon Robot does not need any configuration and can be operated by any teacher without prior preparation. The operation of the robot is intuitive, and the basic functions do not require technical training. Photon Robot's battery provides up to 8 hours of operation on a single charge. Thanks to this, instead of solving technical problems, you can focus on conducting classes.
A tool for modern education
Photon Robot is compatible with devices available at school, and you can use a tablet, computer or smartphone to operate it. In addition, thanks to the small Photon Magic Dongle, it is possible to program up to 8 robots from one computer using Scratch or Javascript.

Programming is not just writing code or rows of characters and numbers. It's a skill that supports logical thinking, planning and problem solving. With Photon, classes are reaching a higher level. Children acquire knowledge naturally, combining theory and practice.
Lesson plans for conducting classes
Lessons for education have been developed to facilitate classroom use. Teachers using the lessons learn the operation of the robot while showing children how to use new technologies safely. The lesson database is constantly expanded on the online educational platform where creative teachers can share their ideas for classes.
Applications used in primary schools
Can be used in most institutions.
Photon EDU App
Application dedicated to teachers who are beginners in programming. The application can be combined with ready-made lessons adapted to specific age groups. Entering the code from the selected lesson gives access only to those functions that are needed for the given class. Photon Edu allows you to create your own lesson plans.
Photon Coding App
An application designed for teachers who already have programming experience. All functions are available without restrictions, so teachers can create their own lesson plans. Photon Robot can be used for all subject areas.
Programming in an elementary school.
Develop your students' talents.
Photon Blocks (7+)
Interface for children who can already read. At this stage, they create complex operations and configure sequences using colored instruction blocks. Children develop analytical skills, learn to design complex program sequences using sensors. They develop the skill of early error detection and optimization of written programs. Programming screen available through the Photon EDU, Photon Coding and Photon Magic Bridge applications.
Photon Code (10+)
Microsoft MakeCode has two built-in programming modules - block-like, Scratch-like, and a JavaScript text editor. MakeCode can translate colored blocks into script code and vice versa. Students develop their creativity, multi-faceted understanding and the ability to cooperate. They learn programming in the script language as well as creating the same solutions in several possible ways, using different tools.

Programming the robot using Scratch
Photon Robot is integrated with the most popular tool for learning programming in schools - Scratch. In addition to the standard possibilities offered by Scratch, the tool has been expanded to include blocks for issuing commands to Photon and readings from its sensors. It enables programming of up to 8 robots at the same time.
