Robotics & Coding + Sustainability Lab - Product - Midwich

The Robotics & Coding + Sustainability Lab is an advanced, multi-disciplinary classroom bundle from Photon Education that bridges physical computer science with ecological awareness. Specially curated for middle and secondary school environments, this package pairs advanced programming principles with environmental action using a shared set of physical learning assets. The bundle is compiled to maximize school budgets by providing the fully featured physical accessories and lesson plans for both tracks, though it excludes an additional Photon Robot from the sustainability segment to prevent redundant hardware costs for classrooms that already utilize the core robotics system or virtual tools.

What is included in this bundle

• 1x Robotics & Coding Kit: An advanced secondary school curriculum that pairs the Photon Robot with physical microcontrollers (such as the BBC micro:bit). This kit enables students to progress from visual block coding to text-based coding languages like Python.
• 1x Ecology Program (No Robot): The Photon Ecology Teaching Kit curriculum focused on environmental action, renewable energy, and resource management without the added cost of a redundant, standalone robot body.
• 1x Grid Mat & 1x Board Game Mat: Heavy-duty, wipeable floor mats used as precise coordinate grids for running advanced navigational algorithms and executing board game-style logic tasks.
• 2x Flashcards: Instructional physical cards designed to help students map functions, logic commands, and environmental parameters during programming sequences.
• 1x Photon Textbook (Best Practices and Teaching Methods): A primary Photon Teacher's Manual detailing firmware setup, application management, and step-by-step guidance on implementing STEAM lessons.

Important Implementation Notes

• Hardware Implementation: While the Ecology Program segment is supplied without a secondary robot, the bundle includes a core Photon Robot via the primary Robotics & Coding Kit. This single robot is fully compatible with both curricula and can be seamlessly shared between your advanced programming assignments and environmental lesson paths.
• Age Suitability: The computer science and sustainability modules included in this bundle are optimized specifically for older students, typically spanning ages 11–15+ (Grades 7–12), focusing on advanced block programming, text-based code integration, and structural science logic.
