We have been using Parallax BOE-BOT robots for years and like them. They are
more appropriate for older kids (6th grade and up) and for longer workshops
(week-long robot camps, which fill up every year).  For younger kids and
shorter programs, we're starting to experiment with Pico Cricket.

Best wishes,

Ed

Hello!
I'm interested in learning what type of robotics program is offered at
other science centers.  What brand do you use?  Do you build your own
robots?  How do you incorporate this with your school group offerings?  
 
Thanks so much!
