DASH ROBOT<br />
W O N D E R W O R K S H O P<br />
Wonder Workshops' Dash<br />
robot acts as a sidekick, pet,<br />
or pal in the world created<br />
by your child using easy-tolearn<br />
code on an iPad. It's<br />
packed with sensors and<br />
capabilities that let it move,<br />
dance, light up, make sounds,<br />
avoid obstacles and even<br />
react to voices. Dash can<br />
greet kids as they come home<br />
from school, help them<br />
deliver a message to a friend,<br />
follows them on journeys<br />
and become a true partner in<br />
fun.<br />
Dash has sensors that let it<br />
know when it’s about to run<br />
into something in front or in<br />
back of it, microphones that<br />
can hear sound and even<br />
detect where it’s coming<br />
from in a room, as well as<br />
infrared sensors that let it<br />
see and communicate with<br />
other robots. You can even<br />
record sounds on your iPad<br />
or iPhone and have Dash<br />
play them back to surprise<br />
friends and family. Unlike<br />
some robots that need hours<br />
of assembly, Dash comes preassembled<br />
(batteries<br />
included) and ready to play.<br />
Dash works with all of<br />
Wonder Workshops' free<br />
apps for iOS or Android. Go<br />
and Path appeal to all ages.<br />
For children 8 and up,<br />
Blockly and Wonder offer<br />
fun challenge tutorials that<br />
teach them programming -<br />
while they’re having fun<br />
making Dash do lots of funny<br />
things. With more than 600<br />
built-in tutorials, challenges<br />
and projects, children can<br />
explore programming at<br />
their own pace. They also<br />
help children develop the<br />
confidence and self-reliance<br />
to learn coding on their own.<br />
