What can I do with it?
DexterOS, the software that comes with the GoPiGo Beginner Starter Kit, has dozens of free, built-in lessons to teach you to program the GoPiGo in Bloxter (our drag-and-drop language just like Scratch).
We also have lots of free projects in Python in our online community, Dexter Studio.
Curriculum
Our most popular curriculum for the GoPiGo is GoBoxEd. It comes with a 9 additional sets of sensors and 12 Mission to accomplish with your robot!
We also have other curriculum and projects for GoPiGo for subjects like math, geography, language arts and more. Check them out at Dexter Studio, our project platform.
Assembly instructions can be found here.
What else do I need to know?
- Works with all versions of the Raspberry Pi.
- Software examples and API are provided by Dexter Industries (many built in to the software and even more available in our open-source repository on Github)
- LEGO Technic bricks: you can attach LEGO technic parts to the GoPiGo acrylic body to build things like camera mounts and to customize the look. But we don’t sell any LEGO parts.
