Get to Know:
The GiggleBot is a wonderful STEM teaching tool that helps your students create, learn, and do more with code. Learn even more when you expand your robot’s capabilities with add-on sensors and servos.
The GiggleBot comes ready for the classroom:
- Has a solid robot body that's able to survive in a classroom.
- The robot is shaped organically so you can turn it into a butterfly, cricket, or whatever you like.
- There's room on the body for kids to build on, so they can use the robot in whatever school project they have. To help with the build, there are holes on the body you can fit LEGO components into!
- It has two Grove expansion ports for I2C sensors and the 0/1/2 pins are kept open.
- Supports additional sensors: Distance sensor, a light/color sensor, and a temperature/humidity sensor.
Key Features:
- Programmable LEDs.
- Attach LEGO® or other brick-based building toys to expand and enhance your robot.
- Motorized wheels help your robot navigate its world.
- Integrated brightness sensors help your robot “see” and respond to the world around it.
- The integrated line follower helps your robot follow predefined paths.
- Create robot art with a pen or marker.
- GiggleBot is powered by AA batteries, so you never have to worry about recharging in the middle of class.

The GiggleBot is a perfect robot for use with the BBC micro:bit:

- The micro:bit is mounted vertically for easy insertion/removal (and easy access to the reset button).
- Nine colored LEDs: Seven are in a rainbow shape and two are used for the robot "eyes."
- A line sensor to follow lines on the floor.
- A pen-hole right between the wheels that supports drawing with the robot.
- Two light sensors are in front on each side so the robot can play "follow the light."
- Servo mounts on the side so you can attach two servos. You can control wings, flippers, or a head and tail after your robot becomes an animal.
- Runs on three AA batteries.
- Comes pre-assembled. You add the wheels and the micro:bit!
- The micro:bit boards are not included.
