What is the idea behind the iRobot Coding Club?
One of the greatest barriers to getting started with coding and robotics is not knowing where to start! Our hope is that bundling professional development, educator content, and support alongside access to coding robots will help ensure successful integration and increase accessibility to robotics, coding and STEAM education. Plus, a variety of membership options are designed to cater to educators across budgets and learning environments.
