Teaching beyond coding, from literacy to project-based learning.
SHERRIE DENNIS · EDUCATOR, ARIZONA, USA
“As fourth graders they were coding with EdPy.”
TAMARA RUSSELL · EDUCATOR, ARIZONA, USA
Small robot.
Big classroom possibilities.
More than learning to code. Give students a way to experiment, solve problems, and make their ideas move.
Coding that comes to life
Turn a sequence of instructions into a robot that moves, reacts, and follows a line.
Hands-on STEM
Connect coding to measurement, science, engineering, and creative problem-solving.
A path from blocks to Python
Keep the same robot as students progress from their first program to text-based code.
Build, test, improve
Combine Edison with LEGO® bricks or EdCreate to tackle real design challenges.
Ready-to-teach resources
Free lesson plans, teacher guides, and student worksheets for every programming language.
Made for your classroom
Rechargeable robots, free programming tools, and classroom packs that scale with your program.
Two ways to start.
One robot to grow with.
Begin with a barcode. Or connect to the devices already in your classroom.
Screen-free exploration
Scan a barcode to activate a built-in program. Explore line tracking, obstacle detection, and more before opening a computer.
No screen needed.
Browser-based coding
Use EdBlocks, EdScratch, or EdPy on compatible classroom devices. Edison V3 connects by USB, with screen-flash programming for iPads.
Free programming tools.
FROM FIRST STEPS TO WHAT’S NEXT
One robot.
Years of coding progression.
Start where your students are. Keep building their skills with Edison as their confidence grows.

A few things you might be wondering
Who can apply for the free Classroom Pilot?
This proposed pilot is for Texas educators at schools, libraries, and STEM programs considering robotics for 15 or more students. Applications are reviewed, and selected educators receive a pilot robot. Applying does not guarantee selection.
What is included in the pilot?
Selected educators receive one Edison V3 robot, a classroom evaluation plan, student activities, and free teaching resources to help assess Edison before considering a wider classroom purchase.
Do I need experience teaching coding?
You can start with screen-free barcode activities, then use EdBlocks for graphical programming. Free teacher guides and student worksheets help you build lessons as you and your students progress.
Which computers or tablets can we use?
Edison V3 supports browser-based programming on Windows, Chromebook, Mac, Linux, and compatible Android devices. USB programming requires a WebUSB-compatible browser such as Chrome or Edge. iPads use screen-flash programming. Check the Edison V3 getting-started guide for your device and chosen language.
Are there software subscriptions or lesson fees?
EdBlocks, EdScratch, and EdPy are free to use. Edison also provides free teaching resources, including lesson plans, teacher guides, and student activity sheets.
Can we get a quote for our school?
Yes. Edison offers classroom packs and bulk pricing, and supports educators with quotes and information for school purchasing approval. You can request a classroom quote through the Edison purchasing guide.
Does Edison work with LEGO bricks?
Yes. Edison has connection points compatible with LEGO bricks. EdCreate is a separate construction kit for guided engineering builds and open-ended projects.
What happens after the pilot?
Use the robot and evaluation resources to assess classroom fit. If Edison suits your students, the next step is to request a class-set quote and discuss purchasing with your school. Pilot selection and delivery arrangements will be confirmed by the Edison team.
