Animation Add-On MatataStudio

MatataStudio Animation Add-On: Drawing and physical animation extension for MatataBot

The Animation Add-On is an extension for the MatataBot that enables it to draw physical shapes: circles, curved lines and more complex shapes, by controlling the speed of each wheel independently to achieve precise trajectories such as U-turns. The LEDs can flash in seven different colours to bring the creations to life. The extension is designed to combine programming with hands-on, creative activities, and to introduce mathematical concepts such as geometric shapes through the practical manipulation of the robot.

Animation Add-On for MatataBot: drawing circles, curved shapes and U-turns, 7-colour LEDs and creative activities to learn maths through movement.

What the Animation Add-On brings to the MatataBot for creative and maths activities

• Physically drawing circles, curved lines and complex shapes directly onto paper or a surface
• Independent control of each wheel’s speed for precise trajectories and U-turns
• Animated LEDs in seven different colours to enhance creations
• Hands-on and creative activities combined with MatataBot programming
• Hands-on exploration of geometric shapes and mathematical concepts through movement

Children place a sheet of paper under the MatataBot, programme a sequence and watch the robot draw the corresponding shape. Drawing a circle requires setting the speed of the two wheels differently; a half-turn requires reversing them. Each programme produces a visible and tangible result that encourages children to try again and make adjustments.
