Endless reasons to love E.a.R.L
Teaching coding robotics can feel overwhelming for some teachers. To make things easier, E.a.R.L comes with learning resources, teaching guides and a complete scheme of work to guide teachers and students through programming lessons.
Your customers will be quick to fall in love with this floor robot. His colourful lights and sounds help to provide a multi-sensory experience for pupils as well as teach the basics of computational thinking and programming. Children can even record their own sounds for E.a.R.L to playback.
Unlike other coding robots already on the market, E.a.R.L is compatible with Scratch, the world’s most popular FREE platform for teaching and learning early programming and coding skills. This means progression is simple, free and provides real-life coding context for young programmers, giving endless learning opportunities for schools and teachers. Put simply, E.a.R.L gives schools and teachers even more value for their investment.
Loved by teachers and children across the world
Packed full of features to enhance learning, E.a.R.L has everything a child needs for the perfect coding and programming learning journey. With lights and sounds, E.a.R.L will fascinate children and encourage development in several areas. Not only does the robot make sounds when it arrives at its location, it also provides the option to record your own sounds and play them back.
Gillian Holbrook from My Three Little Strawberries, an early years educator and mum of three commented: “We have absolutely loved E.a.R.L and his [street scene] mat. Isabella loved programming E.a.R.L to get to all the shops on the mat. It’s like a little maze and encouraged Isabella to work out left and right to send it to her chosen destination. E.a.R.L has really helped with directional language, and she is now really starting to use words like, left, right, forwards and backwards. Overall, I would highly recommend E.a.R.L and the Street Scene Mat for their durability, ease of use for children and I really think he makes learning fun!”
Paul Strickland from Digital Wizards, an education consultancy working with UK schools, stated: "E.a.R.L brings the curriculum to life, is fun to use and engages children. It provides a clear link between understanding what algorithms are and how they are implemented as programs on digital devices.”
E.a.R.L has also been recognised at a number of leading education industry awards. These awards include the 2020 Bett Awards and the 2019 Teach Early Years Awards where E.a.R.L was awarded 3 stars, demonstrating the role E.a.R.L has to play in teaching coding and programming to children across the world.
