Photon Teaching Kit: Robotics & Coding (Includes 2x ZE_05_BBESA Edu Robots) - Product - Midwich

Preparing upper-elementary and secondary students for the future job market requires flexible, advanced hardware solutions. Powered by two Photon Robot ZE_05_BBESA Education Edition units, the Photon Robotics & Coding Kit delivers a comprehensive physical computing curriculum for modern computer science classrooms.

By merging the multi-sensor capabilities of the Photon Robot with the powerful BBC micro:bit mini-computer, this kit expands student logic into the realm of true hardware engineering. Built explicitly for institutional networks and whiteboards, the included ZE_05_BBESA robots have no consumer-grade software locks. Students use a unified programming environment to code both devices simultaneously—moving seamlessly from introductory blocks to real-world scripts in Python and JavaScript to simulate advanced automation, wireless serial communication, and physical data tracking.

• 2x Photon Robot – Education Version (ZE_05_BBESA): School-grade robots with 10 integrated sensors fully unlocked for instant custom programming.
• 2x BBC micro:bit v2 Microcontrollers: Powerful mini-computers that expand the robot’s physical programming boundaries.
• 2x Custom micro:bit Robot Mounts: Attachable modular brackets to physically secure the micro:bit to the Photon chassis.
• 2x Photon Magic Dongles: Enables stable multi-robot connection and dual-device window programming from PC, Mac, or Chromebook.
• 15 Dedicated Lesson Scenarios: Turnkey STREAM-aligned secondary school projects spanning algorithms, variables, data collection, and physical simulations.
• Complete High-Speed Cable Assembly: Includes 2 long USB-A to micro-USB cables, 2 short USB-A to micro-USB cables, and 2 OTG micro-USB cables for versatile hardware tethering.
• Dual External Power Kits: 2 AAA battery boxes with batteries included to power the micro:bit modules independently during wireless travel.
• Tactile Teaching Aids: Includes 2 high-strength neodymium magnets and specialized student resources to gamify test lanes.
