Free Block-based Robotics Programming Curriculum

for K12 Students to Build & Code Petoi Robot Pets

Three high school students look at a Bittle Arduino robot dog

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.

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
