Robocube
This specialist supplier of educational robots and STEAM learning resources caters for all age groups in schools. Robots and kits are child-friendly, and fun and robust enough to be handled, shaken and dropped. The product range includes the Sphero Indi learning robot, which offers unplugged and connected coding experiences that sharpen creative problem- solving and computational thinking skills in children.
robocube.co.uk ‘From the moment I placed Indi in front of pupils, I knew Sphero had got something very right with this robot! No screens, but instead many kinaesthetic and engaging opportunities to improve upon the rich and varied skills that good computing lessons offer. I instantly saw pupils focus on the goal of getting ‘Indi’ around a creative course they designed.’ Matthew Warne, head of computing and IT, The Royal Grammar School, Worcester

FlashyScience
FlashyScience is a virtual lab tool to help students improve their understanding of science and engineering experiments, linked to the GCSE and A-level curriculum. Virtual experiments are carried out with equipment that behaves as analogue tools would in real life, meaning students must interpret and analyse their results and measurements. FlashyScience is fully accessible via your school’s web browser, or at home for blended learning, with nothing to download or store. Experiments come with background theory and a selection of exercises at varying levels, along with worksheets and online tutorials.
