Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
My son gives it a five-star rating. It keeps him engaged and provides opportunities to experience coding in a playful atmosphere. He'll be nine years old in October, and he completes EVERYTHING independently. However, he has had some experience coding via the app CodeSpark. Lego Mindstorms is pricy, but he enjoys the activities, and it's where the future is headed.
Liked the product = what you see is what you get !
This MINDSTORM Robot kit really brings the fun of building a LEGO kit together with learning basic programming structure. After building one of the designs, my daughter will then go through the process of programming it. The included programs are a great introduction to coding and there is enough left to the imagination for her to see what else she can program. Anyone who is a fan of LEGO should give this one a try.
This is the first Lego kit I bought that didn't come with paper instructions. Instead I used the Mindstorms app to build and program the robots. Pretty interesting. So far I only built the buggy and that was fun putting it together. I wish the kit came with a play mat with lines for line following. The kit comes with 4 motors and 2 sensors. I hope that Lego will make It were I can buy sensors separately like they did with older kits. I haven't test to see if using the python programing can make the robot kit connect to a Raspberry pi, but that works it would be cool.
This is what my 8 year old grandson wanted for his birthday. He still can't stop talking about it. He loves it!!
