🤖 Dash Robot FAQ for Teachers and Parents

1. What is a Dash robot?

Dash is a fun, interactive coding robot for kids in grades K-8. Designed by us, Wonder Workshop, Dash helps children learn coding and robotics through hands-on play. Dash moves, lights up, makes sounds, and can be programmed to complete a wide range of STEM challenges using coding apps like Blockly and Wonder.

2. What ages is the Dash robot suitable for?

Dash is ideal for kids ages 5 to 14, making it a great choice for elementary and middle school students. It’s perfect for introducing kids to coding, robotics, and problem-solving at an early age and grows with students when they're ready to tackle more complex coding concepts and programming languages, like JavaScript.

3. What devices work with the Dash robot?

Dash is compatible with a wide range of devices, including:

  • iPads (iOS 13 or newer)
  • Chromebooks
  • Android tablets (Android 5.0 or newer)
  • Windows and Mac computers running Chrome

Apps like Blockly, Wonder, and Class Connect are available on both mobile and desktop, providing flexible learning options for teachers and parents.

8. How can I teach coding with the Dash robot?

With Dash and the Make Wonder platform, Wonder Workshop provides a comprehensive suite of coding apps and tools designed to engage students from kindergarten through 8th grade. These resources make it easy for teachers to integrate robotics into their curriculum, whether they’re introducing basic coding concepts or exploring more advanced computer science topics:

Blockly – An intuitive, block-based coding language perfect for students as young as 6. Blockly introduces foundational coding concepts like loops, conditionals, and variables through drag-and-drop blocks, helping kids build computational thinking skills in a visual way.

Wonder – An advanced, creative coding app that allows students to design more complex programs, including multi-step sequences and real-world problem-solving challenges. Wonder encourages students to experiment, iterate, and think like real programmers.

Path – An introductory app designed for younger learners to start exploring robotics. With Path, students can draw paths on the screen for Dash to follow in real life, add sound effects, and program simple movements, making it a great first step into coding.

Make Wonder – The classroom management and coding platform that is integrated with the Blockly app. It includes real-time student progress tracking, pre-built lesson plans, student project sharing, and powerful analytics tools to help teachers assess learning outcomes and personalize instruction. It’s the perfect way to bring Dash to life in the classroom while aligning with STEM standards like NGSS, ISTE, and CSTA.

9. How durable is the Dash robot?

Dash is built to withstand the rigors of classroom and home use. It’s made from high-quality, impact-resistant materials and is designed to handle the excitement of young learners. Teachers marvel at how well Dash holds up year after year.
