Built for the Classroom
Designed to be durable, expandable, and easy for teachers to manage.
No Experience Needed
Teachers don't need coding experience to run lessons. Drag-and-drop blocks, guided activities, and classroom controls make it easy to get started.
Works on Any Device
The Micromelon Code Editor runs on Windows, macOS, and iPads. Students can use whatever devices your school already has.
Easy to Manage
Class sets come in a hard carry case with an included charging dock. All ten robots charge at once from a single outlet.
Add Your Own Electronics
Built-in expansion headers are compatible with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other 3rd party sensors and electronics.
From Blocks to Python
The Micromelon Rover is the hardware students use at every stage — from simplified blocks in Junior to professional Python.
Curious How To Program The Rover?
The best thing about the Rover is how easy it is to program. Use blocks and text at the same time with our Code Editor.
