Dash by Wonder Workshop is a smart interactive robot equipped with a range of sensors, allowing it to respond interactively to its surroundings, including voice commands and other Dash robots within the reach of its infrared sensors.

It enables children from 5 years old to gain hands-on experience with basic programming in a fun and playful way, while also developing their logical thinking skills.

Ideal for children from 5 years old

Dash is equipped with numerous sensors and capabilities – it can move, dance, blink, make sounds, avoid obstacles, and even respond to voice commands, making it not just an interactive tool but a true companion.

With Dash, you can have fun through several free apps, where children can choose from a variety of programming adventures and projects, gradually building confidence and independence in programming.

With its wide range of features, accessories, and apps, Dash supports not only the development of programming skills but also problem-solving abilities and creative thinking.

Programming for beginners and advanced users

Programming through drawing
Children as young as 6 can program Dash, even if they cannot read yet or know nothing about programming. One of two apps can be used, where commands are entered by drawing and arranging pictures.

Block programming
For more advanced users, color-coded block programming is suitable, where commands fit together like puzzle pieces. While completing playful challenges and games, children quickly learn not only the basics but also sequencing, events, loops, algorithms, advanced operations, and variables.

Programming in JavaScript or Python
With a Make Wonder subscription, students can advance their skills and program Dash in JavaScript or Python. This introduces them to real programming syntax and allows the creation of more complex algorithms and projects that go beyond block programming.

A robot that blinks, sings, and dances

Thanks to its sensors, Dash can interactively respond to stimuli in its surroundings or to other robots within the range of its infrared sensor. Ignore it for a moment, and it immediately reacts with sound, blinking LED lights, or by dancing and moving its head. To avoid collisions during its unpredictable behavior, it is equipped with proximity sensors that detect obstacles in time.

The microphone and speaker allow children to program Dash to respond to voice or to record their own sounds.

Diverse accessories and possibilities

To have even more fun with Dash, a variety of accessory packs are available.

Wonder Pack contains all the hardware and software needed to bring programming to children in classrooms! Sketch Kit allows them to visualize results, express creativity, and practice critical thinking and spatial reasoning when drawing geometric shapes, patterns, and other elements.

Turn Dash into a launcher and program it to hit a target with the Launcher Kit, or enhance Dash’s abilities and change its appearance using accessory packs.

The Gripper Building Kit is ideal for building a mechanical arm and simulating detection and manipulation of real objects using sensors and motors.

Applications

Depending on skill level, you can choose from 4 intuitive apps.

In addition to allowing Dash programming, these apps offer hundreds of tasks and challenges to help children understand what their robot will do (and when and why) – something traditional programming cannot provide. Real-time interactive feedback keeps children engaged and helps them learn quickly from mistakes.

Go
The Go app is the first step to exploring everything Dash can do, by investigating its LEDs, sounds, sensors, and movements.

Path and Wonder
In the Path and Wonder apps, you can start controlling the robot using simple drawing and image methods and create fun tasks for Dash.
Hundreds of tasks and challenges in Wonder help children understand what their robot will do (and when and why) in a way that traditional programming cannot.

Blockly
Complete programming challenges to learn basic concepts of block programming, including sequences, loops, variables, and conditions.
When ready, you can create your own programs from color-coded blocks that fit together—or do not fit if inconsistent.

Make Wonder
Teachers will appreciate the comprehensive Make Wonder platform*, which includes everything needed to teach advanced programming lessons professionally—even for first-time users.
Pre-prepared Coding Pathways lessons guide students through programming levels, while the detailed teacher dashboard allows tracking daily progress and receiving alerts when a student needs extra support.

The app is free to download and available for iOS, Android, Kindle, Chrome, and Windows.

Rechargeable battery

Dash contains a built-in battery that can be easily recharged using the included USB cable.

When fully charged, the robot can operate for approximately 3 hours. A completely depleted battery can take up to an hour to fully charge.

Connectivity

Dash can be controlled via apps on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and is naturally equipped with Bluetooth technology.
