Terrapin TacTile Reader
The Terrapin TacTile Reader is a unique, hands-on programming device students can use to control the Terrapin Blue-Bot or Tuff-Bot robots. The TacTile Reader enables remote programming without the complications of apps and tablets and helps make learning to code a direct, hands-on experience.
Grades: PreK-2
Get to Know:
Students can press the connect button to pair their robot with the TacTile Reader. Then, they can place individual tiles—each representing a command—sequentially on the TacTile Reader. When they press the GO button, they'll see their robot move step-by-step through the program while the TacTile Reader lights up each command as the robot performs it. Want to change the program? Just switch the order of the tiles and press the GO button again.
The TacTile Reader combines the excitement of the Blue-Bot or Tuff-Bot with a concrete, hands-on immersion into coding. It holds up to 10 tiles, allowing students to build programs up to 10 steps long. Up to three TacTile Readers can be connected together with the included cable, so students can collaborate to build programs of up to 30 steps.
The TacTile Reader is rechargeable and includes 25 command tiles. It's perfect for introducing remote programming without the complications of apps and tablets and makes learning to code a direct, hands-on experience.
