Description
Unlock the world of robotics and coding with the Elenco Teach Tech “Zivko The Robot” interactive A/I kit! Designed for young engineers ages 10 and up, Zivko combines hands-on assembly with advanced infrared sensing and artificial intelligence features. Build Zivko from scratch using the included parts and clear instruction guide, then program its behavior to patrol, follow, avoid obstacles, or perform custom routines—Zivko learns as you teach!
Key Features & Benefits
-
Complete Assembly Kit: Over 100 precision parts including gears, motors, sensors, and chassis components. No soldering required—just snap, screw, and connect.
-
Infrared Sensor Technology: Zivko’s forward-facing IR sensor detects objects up to 10 inches away, enabling it to halt, turn, or navigate around obstacles automatically.
-
Adaptive A/I Mode: Choose from preloaded “Patrol,” “Follow,” and “Avoid” routines. Then switch to “Learn” mode: Zivko records your hand gestures and light-based commands to expand its repertoire.
-
Modular Expansion Ports: Four female headers let you add extra sensors, LEDs, or experiment with your own Arduino-compatible modules for advanced projects.
-
Easy Program Interface: Use the free Teach Tech app (iOS/Android) or USB cable (Windows/Mac) to drag-and-drop command blocks. No prior coding experience needed!
-
Durable & Safe Design: High-impact ABS plastics, rounded edges, and secure battery enclosure. Powered by 4 AA batteries (not included), Zivko runs up to two hours on fresh cells.
-
Educational Guidebook: Step-by-step illustrated manual teaches mechanical principles, basic electronics, and an introduction to AI concepts in clear, age-appropriate language.
Whether your child is a budding scientist or a curious tinkerer, Zivko turns playtime into a STEM adventure. Building the robot fosters fine motor skills and following multi-step instructions. Programming its behaviors strengthens logic, sequencing, and problem-solving. As Zivko responds to the world around it, kids see cause and effect come to life—and gain confidence to tackle more complex robotics challenges.
Ideal for solo exploration, classroom group work, or weekend maker sessions with family and friends. Zivko’s robust design and reusable parts ensure years of learning fun. Looking for a memorable birthday, holiday, or back-to-school gift? Give the gift of innovation and watch imaginations soar!
