He came from outer space; he has the cutest smile; and he is ready to help KS1 and KS2 teachers teach coding like pros! EaRL 2 Coding Robot from Hope was designed by coding education specialists and he is the perfect programming resource for children and teachers taking their first steps in their coding journey
He has all of the fantastic features of our first popular coding robot, EaRL but now comes with even more functions to make your lessons all the more exciting
You and your pupils 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
You can even record your own sounds for EaRL 2 to playback
Teaching coding robotics can feel overwhelming, but EaRL 2 comes with a free scheme of work and learning resources to guide you through programming lessons
Pupils begin by coding EaRL 2 directly using the buttons on top of his shell
Then they can move on to programming EaRL 2 remotely via USB from a computer using Scratch
He is perfect for nurturing the future engineers, coders and programmers in your classroom!EaRL 2's transparent shell lets pupils see his mechanics and make connections between input (pressing the buttons) and output (what he does)
Communicate individualised messages for pupils in your class; provide phonics sounds; or give instructions for the lesson via EaRL 2 by recording your own sounds
Compatible with Scratch 2.0 meaning progression is simple, free and provides real‐life coding context for young programmers
Take EaRL 2 on epic journeys around the classroom with a 250‐step program memory
Use the new light sensor to teach variables
Add the new detachable pointer and program EaRL 2 to rotate in 1 degree increments to provide even more cross‐curricular learning opportunities
