Description
Mars Discovery & Automated Warehouse AR & VR Adventure Mat with rovers and forklifts!
Kai’s Clan is so much more than just a yellow robot! The difference is the collaboration between schools or countries, it’s not just about talking on Skype it's actually about manipulating each other’s world in the virtual.
It teaches us to do the learning together and finding solutions to real-world activities and challenges, things that excite kids.
Make AR / VR worlds in your classroom
Easily build 3D environments using Minecraft or Tinkercad
Kai’s Clan’s latest feature allows students to create their own characters in Tinkercad or Minecraft. Used for storytelling, you can create your Minecraft hero and when you code your robot to move around, your 3D avatar also moves around your virtual world. It allows you to create your own 3D environments, code them, and then view them in AR or VR.
Multiplayer coding
Make coding a team sport
Students work together to solve real-world problems, whether within the same classroom or with someone on the other side of the world, using multiplayer Scratch/Blockly coding.
Virtual Reality
Create interactive virtual environments
Let your students create & jump into the driver’s seat of a rover on Mars, a forklift in a busy warehouse, or the pilot’s seat in a plane high over a thriving metropolis.
Augmented Reality
Expand what is possible in the classroom
Make, create and enrich your student’s learning with Kai’s Augmented Reality. See your code come to life in an interactive learning playground.
