Meet ExoNaut

Our standard edition robot, the ExoNaut, is designed to ensure students may build their technical confidence, engage in imaginative problem-solving, and explore the frontiers of science and technology by unlocking the infinite possibilities of robotics and programming. The ExoNaut provides educators with an adaptable, versatile learning tool that can be utilized across increasingly complex programming languages, making it a great solution for learners of all levels and providing schools and districts with a tool that can be vertically integrated across grade and skill levels.

Block or Code Based Programming

The ExoNaut is a tool for all explorers, whether they’re novices or seasoned pioneers. The ExoNaut can be programmed using our custom block-based programming environment or the Arduino programming environment.

Our block environment is a perfect solution for students who are new to programming logic and provides a learning journey that includes the basics of drag and drop controls for the ExoNaut. This early learning creates pathways for students to not only develop technical skills, but also logic that directly impacts achievement in mathematics and literacy at an early age.

The more complex Arduino environment provides students with full control of the ExoNaut. Students may first program the ExoNaut with our custom library or build their own controls using community-driven ESP32 libraries.

Classroom of the Future

Transform your classroom into a high-tech learning space preparing students for the world of tomorrow. Unlike some robotics platforms, the ExoNaut allows for scaffolded learning of programming platforms, beginning with scratch and evolving to a C++ environment. Our accompanying curriculum creates opportunities for collaboration through complex tasks and challenges. Teachers who are currently use the ExoNaut in their classrooms report that their students are challenged to solve tasks in unconventional ways, promoting creativity in problem-solving, resulting in innovative and critical thinking.

Professional learning opportunities are available to support transformational teachers, schools and districts who seek to increase student engagement and achievement.
