Artie 3000 is AWESOME! My 4 and 6 year old boys love him. We have learned so much already and can't wait to explore his more advanced coding steps. Artie teaches creativity, basic coding, following directions, art/design, critical thinking, math, and provides a great introduction to modern technology. I love that Artie is a creative robot that has pre-set plans for beginners yet allows freedom for growth and for more advanced coders as well.

One of kids' favorite things to do is drawing. Artie 3000 is another versatile way to draw that teaches the important skills of math, art and technology. It uses wifi for giving instructions to Artie and this opens discussion about how it works and the correct steps to getting it started. Artie requires specific instructions and has preprogrammed codes or new codes can be created. It can save any created codes to return to later since long codes can take a long time. A dedicated learner can make incredible art! It has a preview option to see if the instructions are correct which helps to see mistakes before using Artie. This amazing product requires critical thinking to get angles, distance and other measurements to work together to create a final masterpiece. Creativity starts with any color of marker!

Depending on the age of the student, this may require extensive parental support. Internet and wifi are used, so this part also may need supervision. This product really helps a student think abstractly and conceptually and then translate to concrete production. This is a fantastic product to learn very specific skills that are great for developing minds.

My kids loved this little drawing robot. They could learn how to code and program while creating fun, colorful designs and patterns. Artie 3000 is a great educational resource. It allows kids to explore coding and can expand to other languages (Python, etc.). It's easy to set-up, simple to use, and super fun. My kids are ages 9-11 and it was perfect for them.
