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 />
