Photon Teaching Kit - Ecology - Product - Midwich

The Photon Teaching Kit – Ecology (SKU: ZE_02_BBESA) is a comprehensive, institutional classroom solution designed to bring environmental science to life through hands-on coding and physical computing. Explicitly engineered for modern primary school classrooms, this dual-robot bundle shapes a profound attitude of respect for the natural environment. Through project-based coding tracks, students collaborate in groups to explore key recycling mechanics, analyze climate phenomena, and develop a concrete understanding of human impact on ecosystems—equipping future generations with critical problem-solving skills and pro-environmental behaviors.

What is Included in this Kit

• 2x Photon Robots (Education Version): School-grade interactive robots equipped with 10 built-in sensory arrays fully unlocked for customized classroom programming paths.
• 2x Photon Magic Dongles: Specialized USB wireless receivers that establish a secure, long-range connection between a central classroom computer and the robots.
• 1x Premium Photon Dry-Erase Mat: A durable, grid-mapped floor mat optimized for drawing physical pathfinding grids, coordinate tracking, and visual environmental planning.
• 10 Complete Lesson Plans: Step-by-step, cross-curricular teaching guides tailored specifically to environmental science, sustainability, and green innovation.
• 32 Student Worksheets & 3 Character Cutout Sheets: High-utility, ready-to-print resource guides and thematic cardboard characters to deepen offline student engagement.
• Interactive Writing Accessories: Includes 1 specialized robot marker holder attachment, 3 vibrant dry-erase markers, and 1 specialized wiping cloth.
• 19 Neodymium Magnets: High-strength physical teaching accessories used to trigger the robot's magnetic sensors during pathway exploration challenges.
• 1x Interactive Ecology Card Set: Thematic situational and asset cards utilized directly on the tracking grids to simulate environmental decisions.
• 1x Simulation Dice & Game Pieces Set: Physical gaming components engineered to randomize resource accumulation and environmental events during team activities.
• 1x Educational Paper Notes Set: Physical mock-currency or parameter tracking logs used by students to calculate ecosystem budgeting and recycling statistics.

Important Implementation Notes

• Hardware Sufficiency: This bundle is entirely self-contained and includes two physical programmable robots along with all essential mats, tools, and curriculum materials. No separate hardware packages or base kits are required to run the provided 10 lesson tracks out of the box.
• Multi-Robot Programming: Utilizing the two included USB Magic Dongles allows an educator to command, update, and program multiple units simultaneously from a single central computer console using the specialized Photon Magic Bridge application.
• Free App Compatibility: The hardware connects natively via Bluetooth to tablets or computers running the institutional Photon EDU application suite, which is entirely free to download and use.
