Edison Essentials Light Up Learning

Help me give my students the batteries and controllers needed to maximize the bots we already have.

My Project

We have been able to get Edison robots for our students, but the batteries and remotes are not part of the package. Needing 120 batteries for the bots makes for a not eco friendly waste problem and is not affordable.

These batteries will allow us to recharge them 500 times making them a great choice for learners.

The remotes are a feature that students can program to control robots and programming our own saves money and teaches students how that programming works. The remotes allow younger learners to use the robots and is accessible for our language learners and struggling readers.
