With a clear user manual in the package and rich tutorials, the assembly of Neo becomes easy and fun. Programming software(mBlock) is also offered, so it can be extended to learn coding. Whether students have coding experience or not, they can learn coding step-by-step with mBlock. For the adds on, Makeblock offers Coding Project Boxes and Smart World 3-in-1 Pack to help kids smoothly progress to the learning of advanced knowledge while playing. The mBot Neo is a nice robot building kit gift for Graduation, Birthday, Christmas, Children's Day, or Home Fun Time.

Using an app on a supported device, kids program the robot to sing, navigate obstacles, solve challenges and more. I love that these robotic toys are appropriate for a pretty wide age range and keep pace with kids as they grow.

Nancy L. said:  This mini robot toy is the size of a ping pong ball, and its easy-to-use features (and reasonable price!) make it perfect for beginners to robotics. Using the associated free apps, kids can control the robot, play games and learn to code. The ball comes with adorable mini traffic cones and bowling pins.
