The Photon Teaching Kit – Early Education is a comprehensive, institutional classroom solution designed to cultivate foundational cognitive, social-emotional, and motor skills in early childhood learning environments. Tailored specifically for nurseries, preschools, and kindergarten classrooms with children aged 3 to 6, this all-in-one package seamlessly integrates physical computing with early math, language arts, and cooperative play. Designed to scale effortlessly between tactile, screen-free navigation and elementary graphical software, the kit transforms basic programming concepts into engaging, active group activities perfect for morning routines and circle-time lessons.

What is Included in this Kit

• 1x Photon Robot (Education Version): A durable, school-grade interactive robot equipped with integrated proximity, light, and touch sensors to react dynamically to its environment.
• 50 Comprehensive Lesson Scenarios: Turnkey, teacher-tested lesson tracks explicitly structured to foster independent problem-solving, collaboration, and early core competencies.
• 1x Alphabet, Numbers, & Shapes Educational Mat: A bright, high-contrast heavy-duty floor mat serving as the physical, coordinate game board for early literacy and counting games.
• 1x Plain Grid Educational Mat: A clean, low-stimulus coordinate grid used to practice abstract pathfinding, shape sorting, and early spatial awareness.
• 5 Specialized Flashcard Sets: Highly durable, large visual card packs designed for small hands to map abstract digital logic onto tangible actions. These packs cover application programming symbols, characters, weather states, emergency vehicles, letters, digits, and basic shapes.
• 52 Extra Symbol Cards: Supplemental reference materials used to guide visual path layouts and step-by-step logic commands on the floor mats.
• 1x Large Soft Educational Cube: A customizable, tossable foam block used to gamify turn-taking and select random grid coordinates during group activities.
• 300 Colored Counting & Name Sticks: Tactile wood implements used by students alongside the robot to reinforce physical math exercises, grouping, and tally tasks.
• 52 Team Wristbands (26 Blue / 26 Yellow): Comfortable classroom sorting wristbands designed to divide students into clear collaborative coding teams during group challenges.
