Thanks to two infrared sensors, the new Mio Robot can avoid obstacles and follow your hand like a real bloodhound. You can use the microphone to command it by simply clapping your hands, while the push-button panel on the robot's back can be used to programme its route. The free app has two play sections: coding, to learn the principles of block-based programming, and real-time, to control movements, sounds, and light effects. STEM learning stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. It is a comprehensive, holistic approach to modern learning. STEM learning encourages kids to explore their world with experimentation, hands-on learning and critical thinking skills. This interdisciplinary approach to learning and playing is an effective way for kids to get engaged in these subjects early on in life, inspiring tomorrow’s leaders.
