Give your students everything they need to jump into the world of coding and robotics.
The Make Wonder STEM Center Starter Suite combines the power of the Make Wonder platform with the irresistible charm of our Dash robots and the flexibility of our complete set of accessories (the Gripper Building Kit, the Sketch Kit, and the Launcher).
Make Wonder provides pre-built lessons and activities that are building blocks for any teacher, no matter their level of experience, to create a coding and robotics curriculum for their students.
A Make Wonder subscription unlocks exciting features for students like access to a virtual Dash robot to program on screen, dozens of coding puzzles, standards-aligned multimedia coding lessons (Coding Pathways levels A-F), and 60 standards-aligned Math activities that give students the opportunity to apply coding skills they've learned while reinforcing math skills (in grades 3-5).
Students that are ready to transition to text-based (JavaScript) coding will have access to Blockly Pro, available exclusively with a Make Wonder subscription.
In addition, the platform provides 72 coding “challenge cards" students can use while programming a physical Dash robot as well as dozens of cross-curricular lesson plans that build students' skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
