Free Block-based Robotics Programming Curriculum
for K12 Students to Build & Code Petoi Robot Pets
Petoi is proud to release the free Petoi quadruped robotics project-based learning (PBL) curriculum in Petoi Coding Block, a Scratch-like drag & drop coding environment. It uses Petoi's Bittle robot dog kit as the hardware platform.
Note: Nybble cat robotics kit can be used with the curriculum, but there's no easy way to secure any sensor on Nybble, so the sensor-related chapter may not be applicable.
Why should you choose Petoi robot pets as gifts over other toys/robots?

Learn robotics programming easily with block-based programming
The curriculum uses Petoi Coding Blocks, a drag-and-drop visual programming environment, as the programming language:
- beginners and young kids with no prior coding experience can easily get started as it doesn't require any typing.
- learners can program a programmable Bittle robot dog to come to life with logic using built-in skills such as walking, crawling to one side, trotting, sitting, and saying hi.
- Support Windows/Mac/Linux

The advantages of learning with Bittle, a lifelike robot dog
- Bittle adopts a dog-like body that's attractive to young students
- Bittle's building process and movement programming encourage classroom discussions on STEM topics
- Robot dog-like bionic design encourages students to think about the relationship between humans, robotics, AI, and modern technology
- The curriculum leverages Petoi Desktop App's Skill Composer for visual robotics skill creation
- The curriculum encourages the development of new forms of robotic motions, human-robot interaction, and new robot dog IoT and companion applications

Learn IoT programming with sensors
The curriculum is designed to help students learn about Bittle robotics sensing with various Arduino-compatible sensors and modules, including PIR motion, light level, ultrasonic, and reflective sensors, explore the exciting world of sensor technology, and develop their skills in programming and physical computing.
Learn with Block-based Coding and Skill Composer Video Tutorials
Note that we will be adding more video tutorials for every chapter of the Petoi Coding Blocks tutorial.
