Pyxel Learning Resources EI-1130 coding robot

The interactive Pyxel dog by Learning Resources is an innovative educational toy that, using an intuitive Blockly or Python interface, helps children start their adventure with programming. Visual code blocks allow you to quickly understand basic programming constructs and logic. The robot teaches logical thinking, allowing the youngest to learn through play. The toy is intended for children from 8 years of age.

Developing advanced skills

With Blockly's intuitive programming language, Pyxel offers a simple way to understand coding logic by dragging and dropping blocks of code. Children can develop their skills, prepare for real programming, and develop analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. More committed users have the option of using Python.

Wireless creativity

Pyxel is equipped with secure, password-protected Wi-Fi, allowing for wireless programming and updates. This feature allows children to interact with the robot in a modern and safe way without having to use cables.

Interaction and control

Using the Code Activator remote control included in the set, children can control Pyxel and issue up to 6 commands from a distance. The ability to immediately translate code into action develops the ability to predict and analyze the effects of your actions.

Programming with colors

The Pyxel robot is equipped with LED diodes that children can program to change colors depending on the actions performed. Programming color changes and light sequences develops understanding of the basics of electronics.

Sensors and reactions

The Pyxel interactive dog is equipped with a sound, touch and proximity sensor, which allows for interactive play. The robot responds to noise, touch and changes in its environment, teaching children the basics of automation and reactive programming, and providing a hands-on introduction to the world of automation and artificial intelligence.

Emotions and self-expression

Pyxel can express emotions through programmable facial expressions, allowing children to explore the emotional side of technology while also teaching empathy and understanding non-verbal cues. Petting the robot makes it happy, which further supports the development of social skills.

Sound and communication

The toy has a built-in speaker that allows you to program sounds or words, which introduces an acoustic element to interaction with Pyxel. Children learn how sound can be part of programming and communication between the machine and the user.

Movement and reaction

Children can program Pyxel movements, including tail wagging, allowing for a physical representation of the code in action. This hands-on motion coding experience is not only fun, but also develops an understanding of cause and effect.
