Robotics Kits for Kids

The best robotics kits for young kids to get familiar with robotics are the Playto Labs Level 1 and Level 2 Robotics Kits.

The Level 1 Kit is a starter kit designed specifically for beginners and young learners, featuring easy-to-use components and detailed instructions for building simple yet engaging projects like an automatic hand sanitizer robot and a burglar alarm. It includes 2 free live 1:1 online classes with STEM-certified trainers to guide your child through the basics.

The Level 2 Kit is more advanced, with additional components for building more complex robots like a wireless home automation system, obstacle-avoiding robot, and remote-controlled car. It also includes 2 free live 1:1 classes, making it perfect for young learners ready to advance their robotics skills.

We recommend the Playto Labs Level 1 Kit for someone who has absolutely no idea about robotics and wants to start learning from scratch. This kit comes with basic components and includes 2 free live 1:1 classes, making it perfect for beginners to get started and learn the fundamentals of robotics.

For someone with experience in robotics, Playto Labs' Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 robotics kits are among the best options available. These kits are designed for more advanced users and include a wide range of components that allow you to build complex robots.

Whether you're interested in exploring advanced programming concepts, experimenting with different sensors and actuators, or diving into more complex designs, these kits provide the tools you need to take your robotics projects to the next level.

For a 12-year-old child, we recommend Playto Labs' Level 4 and Level 5 kits, which are programmable robotics kits. They can use Arduino to program and build robots

There are many robotics kits in the market that offer more than LEGO kits. For a 10-year-old interested in learning robotics, it's worth exploring kits that go beyond simple plug-and-play options, offering real robotics experiences. Playto Labs' robotics kits, for example, provide electronic blocks that enable a deeper understanding of robotics concepts.

There are many differences between Playto Robotics' Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 kits, such as the number of components, the number of classes, and the types of robots and projects you can build. For detailed information about each level roboit kit, you can scroll up and read to choose the one that best suits your child.

Using Playto Labs' robotics kits, your child can build a variety of exciting projects. Here are some examples for each level:

3. Chocolate protector (alarms when someone tries to steal chocolate)
4. Burglar alarm
5. Water ATM

Playto Labs Level 2 Robotics Kit Projects:

1. Wireless home automation system
2. Remote-controlled car
3. Wireless lock security alarm
4. Obstacle-avoiding robot
5. Magnet-following car

Playto Labs Level 3 Robotics Kit Projects:

1. Gesture-controlled water tap
2. Smart plant watering system
3. Candy dispenser
4. Hand-waving robot
5. Sunrise alarm

Playto Labs Level 4 Robotics Kit Projects:

1. Automatic street light controller
2. Smart dustbin
3, Automated railway crossing system
4. Mini firefighter robot
5. Automated car parking with empty slot detection

Playto Labs Level 5 Robotics Kit Projects:

1. Blind person detecting obstacles
2. Line-following robot
3. Mouse trap
4. Moving car with a keyboard
5. Automated dino game using Arduino

These are only a few projects we are mentioning. Apart from these, using their creativity, kids can build hundreds of robots.

We don't just tell them how to connect components and build robots; we encourage and teach kids how to think creatively and build cool real robots that solve problems.

When our team, consisting of alumni from IIT, Harvard, Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel, designed this kit, we used to provide a user manual in the kit.

However, we started receiving feedback from parents that their kids were not excited to read the manual and build robots on their own; they were getting bored. In response, we came up with a new approach. Instead of providing a user manual document, we began offering 2-4 free live 1:1 classes with our STEM.org certified robotics teachers.

These teachers are trained to teach robotics and the use of these kits in a very engaging manner, ensuring that kids do not feel bored and instead get excited to learn in these live classes.

After implementing this change, we received amazing feedback from parents, who said that these classes were much better than user manuals.

Therefore, based on this feedback, we now only provide 2-4 free live classes, depending on which level kit you buy. You will find all instructions in the kit box on how to book these classes.

If your child shows interest in learning after building the initial projects, they will have the option to upgrade to the next level of robotics kits or they can also join our online robotics classes.

Yes, Playto Labs' robotics kits are definitely suitable for school projects. In fact, many students use Playto kits to participate in school competitions or science fair.

Playto Labs' robotics kits come with all kinds of components you need to build a complete robot, including microcontrollers, sensors, motors, batteries, connectors, circuit PCBs, wires, and batteries.

Yes, Playto Labs' robotics kits are ideal for teens. Playto Labs kits are designed for the age group 8-16 specifically. If your child already knows the basics of robotics, they can also explore our Level 3, Level 4, or Level 5 kits, which are programmable. These kits offer more challenging projects, allowing your teen to build and program advanced robots.
