mBot2 is a next-generation educational robot powered by CyberPi microcontroller

mBot2 is a next-generation educational robot designed with extended capabilities, starting as an entry-level solution in lower secondary education and going all the way to upper secondary and beyond. mBot2 is powered by CyberPi, an educational microcontroller enhanced with network capabilities, built-in sensors and much more. mBot2 is designed for students to carry out interactive and smart lessons that are engaging, fun and reflecting real-world applications, including robotics, AI, IoT and Data Science. With mBlock’s enhanced coding learning experience, mBot2 allows students and educators to begin with the block-based coding approach, and seamlessly transition into object-oriented coding with Python, all in the same environment.

Learning Goals

The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.

Passive
Active
Programming tasks require active participation and learning by doing. Seeing your program come alive with mBot2 is very satisfying and highly motivational.
Rehearse
Construct
Working with mBot2 and CyberPi promotes hands-on working, where programming skills are gained gradually with creative projects.
Linear
Non-linear/Creative
The device with a variety of sensors and actuators offer unlimited potential for learning. The projects and lessons offered by Makeblock make it is easy to get started to build your programming skills.
Individual
Collaborative
Even if a group of students is using one mBot2, it is possible to let students have their individual CyberPi to work on, and then test their code with shared mBot2.

The Finnish Educational Quality Certificate

Our Quality Evaluation Method is an academically sound approach to evaluating a product’s pedagogical design from the viewpoint of educational psychology.

The method has been developed with university researchers and all evaluators are carefully selected Finnish teachers with a master's degree in education.
