Car Coding Kit – Programmable Smart Vehicle - STEM Learning

Introduce children to the world of coding and robotics with the TPBot Micro:bit Robot Car Coding Kit, an engaging, programmable smart car designed for hands-on learning in classrooms and at home. Crafted from durable ABS material, this car features a safe and colorful exterior—unlike typical exposed wiring kits—making it both child-friendly and visually appealing.

The TPBot offers two intelligent modes:

Standalone Mode – Functions in line-following or obstacle-avoidance mode even without a micro:bit.

Programmable Mode – Insert a micro:bit to unlock full programmable capabilities using MakeCode, MicroPython, or JavaScript.

With a customizable LED eye patch, children can control the car’s color output through code, sparking creativity. The kit includes RJ11 and 4-way servo interfaces, allowing rich sensor expansion for advanced projects.

Fully compatible with toy bricks, the TPBot car encourages imaginative construction while strengthening understanding of electronics, mechanics, and coding. It’s ideal for STEM curriculum, programming workshops, and DIY robotic projects.
