Build and program a JIMU robot
The JIMU app makes for a great companion to a JIMU robot model, functioning not only as a digital instruction manual but also as an educational tool for learning coding. Free and age-appropriate, this app serves as a playground for children to explore the wonders of technology and tickle their creativity.
However, the app is not aimed at users who don’t own a JIMU robot kit. Hence, the program’s functionalities are limited to, for example, browsing the assembly steps and the tutorials in “Settings.” The JIMU app is slow to load sometimes, but thankfully, it’s only a minor gripe.
Improve your child’s problem-solving skills
UBTECH’s JIMU robot construction kits help children further their appreciation of technology and robotics. Commonly sold in toy stores or online shopping sites, these robots can be in a form of a WALL-E-like Tankbot, a cute unicorn, or a fierce dragon—all of which appeal to various skill levels. As mentioned, the JIMU app is like an instruction manual, providing children with an interactive guide to building a robot.
As they work on their robot, kids can browse a list containing all the needed connectors, parts, and wires as well as touch the slider or tap the arrow keys to proceed to the next or go back to the previous step. Once assembled, they can enable their model’s Bluetooth connectivity and control its movements or make it perform a variety of actions like dancing.
Don’t worry if your child doesn’t know how to code, as this app includes lessons for learning the ropes of Blockly, a kid-friendly visual programming tool. With its built-in Blockly programming system, children can practice their newly learned coding skills while developing their problem-solving and critical thinking skills in a fun and engaging way. In addition, the app includes guides on battery removal, Pose Record Play system, and many more.
Only for kids who have a JIMU robot
If you’re thinking of getting your child a JIMU robot, don’t forget to download the JIMU app, too. Multifunctional and kid-friendly, this program lets children build and program their robot from the ground up—all while helping them become creative thinkers and problem solvers. They can also learn to code in the app. However, note that it has limited usage for non-JIMU robot owners.
