Artist Add-On MatataStudio

MatataStudio Artist Add-On: Geometric Drawing Extension for the MatataBot Coding Set – suitable for ages 5 and over

The MatataStudio Artist Add-On is an extension for the Coding Set that enables the MatataBot to physically draw on paper: geometric shapes, letters, numbers and freehand figures. The kit adds angle tiles (30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, 72°, 108°, 120°, 135°, 144° and 150°) to the existing set of cards, enabling users to programme precise rotations and explore the concepts of geometry, lines and angles in a hands-on way. Three warm-up cards with six guided activities introduce the concepts in a step-by-step manner.

Two sets of themed activities, ‘Fun Drawing ABC’ and ‘Fun Drawing Numbers’, enable children to trace letters and numbers. Crayola washable felt-tip pens are included for drawing directly from the robot.

MatataBot Artist Add-On Coding Set, angle tiles from 30° to 150°, Crayola washable felt-tip pens, 3 warm-up cards and geometry activities for children aged 5 and over.

What the Artist Add-On brings to the MatataBot Coding Set for learning geometry

• Angle tiles in 10 different values: 30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, 72°, 108°, 120°, 135°, 144°, 150°
• Physically drawing geometric shapes, letters and numbers directly onto paper using the robot
• 3 warm-up cards with 6 guided activities to explore lines, angles and geometry step by step
• Fun Drawing ABC activities for drawing letters with the robot
• Fun Drawing Numbers activities for drawing numbers with the robot
• Crayola washable felt-tip pens included for drawing from the robot’s base
• A DIY and open-ended approach to creating your own drawings and geometric shapes

Children place a sheet of paper on the mat, insert a felt-tip pen into the MatataBot’s holder and programme a sequence using the angle tiles. The robot traces the corresponding shape onto the paper. A square requires four 90° tiles, whilst a five-pointed star requires angles of 144° and 36°. Each programme produces a tangible result that makes geometry concrete and memorable.
