The Edison Robot is an affordable, smart robot that brings programming and robotics to the classroom. Edison was made by Australians, and they built it for educators in the classroom, so it's loaded with impressive features that will make your lessons more engaging. There is a tonne of resources available, all linked with the National Curriculum too, so it's the tool you need for programming and STEM in the Australian classroom.
For each way you want to use Edison, there's a guide and resources available to you. It could be Block-based with the younger students, or Python with the older ones. Edison comes as a complete STEM tool/package. Here's a list of resources we've found:
EdScratch is a vertical block-based visual programming language based on Scratch. EdScratch combines the ease of drag-and-drop programming with powerful functionality and versatility. The result is a robot programming language that is easy to learn and offers a robust platform for computer science education.
The online EdScratch programming environment is designed to deliver meaningful computer science education through an easy-to-use interface. EdScratch’s intuitive layout and the simplicity of block-based coding makes EdScratch an ideal programming language for students aged 10 and up. Helpful features, like the built-in bug box, make the transition to using more complex programming structures approachable even with no prior coding experience. As students gain confidence in coding, they can do even more by controlling inputs, manipulating data, and creating and utilising variables, making EdScratch a perfect platform to use Edison’s features in engaging, creative ways.

The EdBlock App uses block-based code to make programming your Edison a breeze. The block code programming language uses DRIVE, OUTPUTS, WAIT UNTIL, CONTROL and START EVENTS that easily connect together like a puzzle.
EdBlock is available online, just like the EdWare software there is no installation, no driver software and is completely FREE.

EdPy is a highly versatile text-based programming language for the Edison robot. EdPy is based on Python, a popular computer programming language renowned for being easy-to-learn with high readability. Programmers use Python to develop everything from the latest apps to business software. EdPy makes text-based programming fun by letting students see their code come to life in their Edison robot. With EdPy, students are learning the core of a real programming language and are able to take their exploration of robotics and coding to a more advanced level.
EdPy is available online with no installation, no driver software and is completely FREE.

Rechargeable Battery - With over 60 minutes of continuous driving time, students can now engage in extended coding and learning sessions without the worry of running out of power. The internal rechargeable battery makes the V3 convenient, promotes uninterrupted learning and helps the planet! The internal battery is also replaceable, so the Edison V3 won't become e-waste after the battery reaches the end of its life.
USB programming - Edison V3 connects directly to a computer via USB, simplifying the setup and ensuring a more stable connection when programming. The USB cable is always ready to go as it is attached, and tucks away neatly - no more lost accessories.
The Edison Robots are so well designed and built that we're sure they will integrate seamlessly into your classroom. However, we're full-time makers and we get it, sometimes things go wrong. If you have any issues with Edison, just get in touch with us (Phone, Email, Chat, drop-in) and we will help you back on track.
