This smart, orb-shaped robot has many features, such as the ability to communicate with other Copper robots, follow a black line, sense darkness, play interactively with other items, and follow a sequence of directions. Directions can be directly communicated by pressing the directional arrows on the head of the robot. The arms have pincher-shaped hands, which is helpful for holding thin items such as cards. A great way to begin screen-free and hands-on coding with children. Cooper is rechargeable, and is 4” in diameter. Includes a play orb (for the robot), free draw marker holder, and charging cables.

Description
Publisher's Description of Learning Resources Orbley the STEM Robot
Meet Cooper, the interactive STEM robot that brings screen‑free coding to life through hands‑on play. Kids use simple command buttons and coding cards to program Cooper, building sequencing, logic, and early problem‑solving skills as they test ideas and see real cause‑and‑effect in action. This clever coding robot reacts to light, follows paths, senses objects, and responds to its environment, helping young learners explore core STEM concepts through engaging, interactive play. Designed for ages 5+, Cooper supports beginner coders as they build confidence with foundational programming skills in a way that feels intuitive and fun. As kids work through the included coding challenges, they strengthen critical thinking, reasoning, and troubleshooting skills while staying focused on screen‑free learning. The set includes one Cooper robot, 40 coding cards, an Activity Guide with 10 challenges, a ball accessory, and a USB‑C charging cable, making it ready to use right out of the box with no batteries required. For expanded play, add additional Coopers (sold separately) to unlock communication and collaboration features for shared challenges and group learning.
