Maqueen Lite Blue micro:bit Educational Programming Robot Platform
The Maqueen Lite is the new version of the popular Maqueen micro:bit graphically programmable educational robot. This version features a white/blue plastic casing, which not only provides a stylish appearance but also protects the electronics from curious children’s hands. Unlike the standard Maqueen, the Maqueen Lite comes fully assembled and only needs to be equipped with a micro:bit and batteries. The mini-robot offers interesting functions and is plug-and-play. This allows children to quickly learn graphic programming to spark interest in science and logical thinking. You can do the graphical programming of the robot with the online editor . where you can also find many sample codes for the robot. To use the Maqueen Library, you must first add the following extensions: .jhlucky/maqueen
Maqueen is also accessible on the Mind+ programming platform. Mind+ is a Scratch3.0-based graphical programming platform from DFRobot, supporting Python, Arduino, and other programming platforms. Currently, Mind+ is applied to all kinds of sensors, modules, and related learning products.
Info: AAA batteries and micro:bit controller must be purchased separately.
