Some of the hottest products for children and teens today are STEM-related, meaning they help children learn in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math disciplines. TankBot, created by UBTech Robotics, is an interactive building block system that combines learning and fun as children build, program and share the robot they created. TankBot is the first Jimu Robot to run on tank treads which markedly increases its mobility, and it features an infrared sensor that allows it to follow commands to detect, pick up, or move itself around objects in its path. It comes in a kit which includes the Jimu Robot app with step-by-step 3D instructions including zoom and 360 degree views to make building the robot easy. Imagine the expression on your child’s face when he or she creates their first robot and it follows their commands!
