Product Description:

The MATRIX Micro Starter Robot Set 2.0 is a beginner-friendly robotics kit designed to introduce learners to coding, electronics, and engineering using the BBC micro:bit (sold separately).

User-Friendly Coding with MakeCode:

The MM2010 supports Microsoft MakeCode, a visual block-based programming platform that allows users to code by dragging and dropping blocks—ideal for beginners and young learners. This user-friendly environment helps users see real-time feedback and develop problem-solving skills through experimentation.

Multi-Language Programming Support:

As learners grow, the MM2010 can be programmed using Scratch, Python, Blockly, JavaScript, and more, offering a smooth transition to text-based and advanced programming. This makes it suitable for classrooms, coding clubs, and home learning environments.

MATRIX Micro Robot Controller:

The MATRIX Micro controller acts as a bridge between the BBC micro:bit and the robot’s components. It simplifies the integration of motors and sensors, allowing users to create interactive and responsive robots with ease. It enables input/output operations, making real-world applications possible.

MATRIX Building System Compatibility:

The set supports the MATRIX Building System, which is modular and compatible with platforms like LEGO®. It also works with programming environments such as Arduino, LabVIEW, and web applications—supporting learning in AI, IoT, and robotics. This versatility ensures long-term engagement and skill development.
