New kits coming soon to the National Lending Library!

We are very excited to share that this year we are expanding the range of library robotics kits in the CSER National Lending Library! We are also increasing the number of classic robot kits available to schools. 

This means more schools will have an opportunity to borrow a free digital technologies kit together with quality lesson plans and classroom ideas to engage students in a wide range of learning across the curriculum. 

The first two new additions are:

Micro:bit TP Bot with Smart AI Lens

Introducing the new Micro:bit TP Bot Kits with AI Smart Lens—the ultimate way to bring coding, robotics, and AI to life in your classroom! With features like line-following, obstacle detection, and now visual recognition through the AI Smart Lens, students can dive into real-world STEM challenges using block or Python coding. These kits are classroom-ready, easy to use, and provide opportunities to spark creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Perfect for turning curious minds into future innovators!

Kai Bot Classroom Kit

Kai Bot is the AI enhanced junior sibling of Kai's Clan (which has been a member of the Lending Library for a couple of years!). It is a little robot with big teaching power! Whether you're introducing screen-free coding with colourful cards or diving into block-based and Python programming, Kai Bot makes computer science engaging and accessible for K - 5 learners. With ready-to-use lesson plans Kai Bot saves you time while sparking curiosity and creativity in your students. It’s perfect for promoting teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving across year levels—and it grows with your learners.
