ROBOT EDEK

ROBOT EDEK

EDEK Robot – Children’s Friend

EDEK is an innovative educational kit that introduces children to the fascinating world of coding. It turns learning into an adventure, developing creativity, logical thinking, and mathematical and musical skills.

Coding without a screen

Unlike other educational robots, coding in the EDEK set is done exclusively with tiles, which eliminates the need to use apps or tablets. Thanks to this, children learn programming manually, which develops their motor skills and also allows them to focus on the logic of coding.

Vocational orientation – ready-made lesson plans in the book Edek

The EDEK set includes 10 ready-made scenarios that introduce elements of professional orientation during classes. Thanks to these scenarios, Edek takes on various professional roles, such as a rescuer, a forester, a farmer, a builder or an astronaut. Each of these characters allows students to practically understand and learn about different professions, developing their imagination and awareness of the world of work.

The educational value of the EDEK set

The EDEK set is an invaluable teaching aid that makes learning coding accessible and fun. Thanks to the intuitive tiles, children can program Edek’s movements on the mat, allowing him to twist, turn, change facial expression, kick, and even play individual notes.

Classes with the EDEK robot:

• Develops programming skills: Children learn the basics of coding in a practical and interactive way.
• Supports comprehensive learning: Double-sided mats offer exercises from different subject areas, developing a variety of skills.
• Stimulates creativity and imagination: Possibility to create stories and scenarios for robot operation using Korbo elements.

Scenarios and mats – the key to success

The lesson plan book is a key element of the set, which allows teachers to effectively use the EDEK robot in the classroom. Additionally, the large mat and double-sided paper mats offer a variety of working environments, providing children with stimuli for learning through play.

The EDEK kit is a comprehensive educational kit that introduces children to the world of coding while developing their skills in a variety of areas. Ideal for use in schools and at home.

Sample lesson: EDEK – Astronaut

Get Started: (5 minutes)

Show the children a graphic of the Solar System. Discuss the names of the planets and their characteristics. Repeat the names several times, trying to remember them. Create a “living solar system” – children take on the role of the Sun and the planets.

Build: (10 minutes)

Lay out the mat and ask the children to arrange the planets from the gears according to the colors assigned to them. Transform the robot Edek into a rocket by adding elements from the Korbo blocks.

Program: (10 minutes)

Place the Sun in the corner of the platform. Children place the planets. Program Edek to pass the planets starting with the one closest to the Sun, saying their names out loud.

Verify: (5 minutes)

Ask the children if Edek has visited all the planets. Point to random planets and ask them to repeat their names.

Summarize: (5 minutes)

Unfold the structures, ask the children what they have learned. Make sure they know the names of several planets, that the Sun is in the center, and can tell about the Earth. Say goodbye to Edek.

Sample lesson: EDEK – Rescuer

Get Started: (5 minutes)

Talking about emergency services, matching vehicles to rescuers.
Discussion of the emergency number 112 and situations in which it is used.
Scenario: Edek as a rescuer must reach a girl in the park.

Build: (10 minutes)

Building a hospital and a park on the mat.
A version for older children: adding obstacles.
Extended version: Dividing into teams and building emergency services units.

Think about it: (5 minutes)

Analysis of the shortest route from the hospital to the park.
For younger children: comparing the number of Korbo platforms.
For older children: measuring the route with measuring tapes and rulers.

Program: (10 minutes)

Programming Edek, measuring travel time of different routes.
Adding an alarm signal to the program.

Verify: (5 minutes)

Analysis of alternative routes to the park, discussion of the impact of route length on the time it takes for help to arrive.

What does the EDEK kit include?

• Robot EDEK: Interactive robot that responds to coded commands.
• Lesson Plan Book: A content-rich publication that supports teachers in implementing the curriculum by offering ready-made lesson plans.
• Large Robot Mat (2.5m x 1.4m): Spacious surface where children can experiment with different scenarios.
• 2 Double-Sided Paper Mats: Each mat offers different activities – coding, math, music, gaming – developing a wide range of skills.
• Coding Tiles: A tool for programming the movements of the EDEK robot, which allows for precise planning of its route and behavior.
• 16 Korbo blocks to build Edek

*The EDEK set contains only a few Korbo blocks. To enrich the robot classes, we recommend buying the set Korbo Maluch.
