Hello friends, recently I bought this new STEMpedia Quarky Kit from Amazon and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this one. You know why? Because Quarky offers you the best way to learn robotics and Artificial Intelligence in an interactive and playful manner. Isn’t that exciting?
STEMpedia Quarky Advanced AI Robot Toy kit is the best AI learning companion for kids to explore the world of AI & robotics. This AI Robot Toy Kit is for 7- 14 years kids with mechanical construction & model making, so this kit is just apt for me. As I have previous learnings and knowledge of robotics and coding, it was quite easy to understand but even for beginners this kit is very user friendly. This kit enables to learn Robotics with 50+ Interesting AI & ML Projects. This kit also includes online courses which are enables us to foresee and understand the potential to use this kit to its best.
Which Kit I Brought and WHY??
While Quarky has different kinds of kit, I bought this ‘Ultimate Kit’ which I can use in building robots, not just one or two but 50 different kinds of robots and activities with just one kit. Vertical pick up robot, self driving robot, obstacle avoiding robot are the ones I am really looking forward to building.
Why is Quarky the Best Learning Companion for Kids?
