Makeblock Cyberpi Project-Based Kit, Coding for Kids 8-12 Support Scratch & Python Programming, STEM Programmable Robot Supports AI & IoT Technology with Built-in WiFi Module

Very versatile, has a lot of cool sensors like gyroscope and mic, and has a speaker and the led lights are pretty neat. We're having fun with it so far. Being able to program it live over bluetooth is incredible. It's limited in processor power and community support but it is actively being developed and there are plenty of currently working extensions. We've already used mBlock with an old Arduino Nano and this is way easier. Their web mblock is updated more than their mobile/desktop apps, so it has more functionality. The size is a bit smaller than expected but it's a great size.It can store 8 programs. Big plus. It can only record one 10 second audio clip though. This is something I could see inspiring kids to code more and it even inspires me to want to teach a class with this small device. The Display+ extension just needs a bit more tweaks to make it easier to use the screen in a fully custom way. It can be drawn to with almost complete control now but it will get much slower with more than a handful of sprites on screen.All programs run faster on upload mode than Live mode but live mode is good for testing immediate changes & wow factor.Really appears to be a well made product, 800mAh battery, bigger than competitors. I wish it had some gpio pins to do things other than motors.Documentation is well translated into English but I wish the forum/dev team was more active. The robot kit seems more popular than this device so it gets a bit more dev attention I think. But this one is really good as it is. It's a really capable device. It has a ton of potential if extensions are continued to be released for it.

My 14 year son wanted to learn coding. Got him this for Christmas. He wasn't sure at first, but he is enjoying it now. One he got the hang of using the program online he spent hours coding. It's a keeper.

My son loves these! This is our second one and he is able to do a lot of coding on his own. I'm really impressed with the quality and we plan to get more items.

My 10yo son loves this so much, he'd even take it to bed. Unfortunately, that was what ultimately broke it. The charging port is strong, but not strong enough to withstand pressure of the USB cable being torqued. Make sure your child doesn't carry it around, or lay on it, while charging.Other than that, it is awesome. And the support is phenomenal. I reached out to makerblock, admitting that we broke it (even though technically it was still in the 30-day return window with Amazon). They complimented our honesty (it was a great learning opportunity for my kids to "do the right thing"), and offered to replace the device at no cost. They didn't have to do that, but wanted to reward the lesson on integrity.What a great company that sees value in brining up kids the right way. Thank you Yevette!

Worked properly was a gift and he liked it

When I received this, I was horrified at how small it was and almost returned it. I am glad that I didn't as my 9 year old nephew loves it. Good buy

Bad

Great product. Kiddos love it.
