Micromelon Robotics Platform
An easy way to get started with programming in blocks, a high ceiling for advanced students, and a simulator for learning anywhere. All built around the Micromelon Rover.
Micromelon Rover
The Micromelon Rover is much more than a robot, it is an expansive STEM resource that empowers students to explore what's possible with programming and engineering. Built by a team of Australian engineers and educators, the Micromelon Rover has been specifically designed to cater to students from Prep all the way through to grade 12 and beyond. Out of the box, Micromelon Rovers are full of sensors and tools, and are designed to grow with your students at all stages of the learning process.
From Blocks to Python
Start with simplified blocks and progress all the way to professional Python, all using the same Micromelon Rover.
Micromelon Junior
A simplified coding app for younger or beginner students. Junior focuses on the basics of computational thinking with a friendly block-based interface, ideal for students not yet confident to navigate the full Code Editor. Available on iPad and Android.
Code Editor
The Micromelon Code Editor makes it really easy for students to start coding. Students can simply drag-and-drop code blocks to start programming their robots. And, with the side-by-side editor, students can see the associated Python code. When your students are ready to advance, they can unlock the full potential of Python.
Classroom Management
- Mute & Disable Student Robots
- Hide Screens
- Send and Recall student work at any time
- Lock students to Block or Python programming
Python Library
Advanced students can move beyond the Code Editor and control their rover from any Python environment, including VS Code, PyCharm, and Jupyter Notebooks. Combine the rover with other Python libraries for computer vision, data analysis, and more.
Robot Simulator
We developed the simulator so that learning can continue outside the classroom and without the need for a physical robot. The Simulator is ideal for homework and running complex challenges. Filled with virtual exercises and challenges allowing students to build confidence with programming and to explore all of the Rovers' capabilities.
