Syd was beyond proud of herself for mastering Artie 3000 all by herself – I took this photo to show her dad what she’d done!

With four modes of coding play: pre programmed shapes, games, art for colouring and freeform coding. To make using Artie quick and easy he comes with a setup guide plus fact sheets with different lessons of varying difficulty on how to draw with Artie.The fact that they are washable is great just in case they accidentally mark Artie as you place the marker in the robot or if he strays from the paper so as not to permanently mark the table. DISCLOSURE: We received this product for free for the purpose of writing an honest and impartial review.

All told, we love our Artie 3000 Drawing and Coding Robot, and I can see him getting lots of love over the Easter Holidays! Lift the flap on Artie’s head and insert the felt tip pen into the hole, pushing down until the tip touches the Marker-parker.Artie has 360 degree movement so he can move backwards, forwards and can turn and spin in any direction. Once you have seen how the code works from the pre-programmed ones, Artie comes with 3 activity cards for you to code – easy (draw a square), medium (draw a mandala) and hard (draw a Tic-Tac-Toe grid).

Thanks to inbuilt wifi it connected without any issues and we could access the Artie interface to code and draw with him.Use the software to easily drag and drop blocks of code into the command area, telling Artie 3000 to turn right or left, move forward or backward, and pick up or put down a pen.

I have been able to test a few STEM-related toys with them and now I get to check out the Artie 3000 by Educational Insights. Then on top of that I had to wait almost a week and a half and 2 messages to seller to get it after the date it should’ve been here. The Artie 3000 is a nice toy and a nice creative tool that would tickle the imagination and creativity of kids interacting with it.With Artie, children will use both sides of their brain to learn about geometry, shapes and programming combined with creativity, imagination and expression! Artie has different ways you can use him: pre-programmed shapes, games, art for colouring and freeform coding. x 11″ paper onto a solid flat surface and turned on the power and place Artie 3000 in the center of the paper. New Artie Max (Ages 8+) and the award-winning Artie 3000 (Ages 7+) bring STEM learning to life through creative drawing activities. Building on the enormous success of Botley The Coding Robot in 2018, Learning Resources have introduced Artie 3000™ in 2019.
