Finch Robot 2.0 (with micro:bit)

 

About:

The Finch is a programmable robot that brings computer science to life by providing students from kindergarten to college a hands-on representation of their code.

 

 

 

Please note that the Finch uses micro:bit as its processor; you must have one in order to operate the robot. Every Finch includes a micro:bit and a micro USB Cable for charging and downloading to a micro:bit.

 

Coding from Kindergarten to College

A robot designed to grow with students. From icon- and block-based coding to advanced text-based programming, the Finch is a tool for elementary school, AP computer science, and every class in between. This low floor, high ceiling tool includes materials designed for teachers who are new to coding so they can meet the needs of students at all experience levels.

 

Designed Specifically for Classrooms

The Finch is a thoughtfully designed, powerful teaching tool. Teach confidently with 7+ hours of battery life, impressive durability, and innovative add-ons like a pen mount and plastic brick adapter. Worry less, charge less often, and let that creativity shine.

 

Backed by Research

The original Finch Robot began being tested in classrooms in 2008. Designed with 10 years of teacher feedback, the new Finch 2.0 is a trusted teaching tool with the evidence to back it up. Check out our Research Page to see published articles.
