Features

Interactive and programmable: The Zivko robot is fun to play with because you can teach it simple orders like how to move forward or backward, turn, and do certain tasks. By letting users control and change the robot’s behavior, it pushes them to learn how to code.
Educational Design: Zivko was made to help people learn about basic robotics ideas, like how circuits and sensors work and how to program a robot to do things. Anyone who wants to learn more about robotics and science should start with this robot.
Sensor-Based Navigation: Zivko can find objects in its way and get around them because it has built-in sensors. This sensor-based navigation mimics how robots act on their own in the real world and shows people how robots interact with their surroundings, giving them an introduction to autonomous systems.
Hands-On Assembly: One of the coolest things about the Zivko robot is that people can put it together themselves. This process helps kids learn how to solve problems and gets them started with building ideas. It lets kids learn in a fun, hands-on way that gives them the power to figure things out.
Multiple Movements: Zivko can move in many ways and can be programmed to do many things, like dancing, avoiding obstacles, or even turning at certain angles. This makes the robot more flexible, which makes it better at doing difficult jobs and more fun, which keeps kids interested.
Functionality for Remote Control: Zivko can be handled by a remote (if it comes with your model), which lets users run the robot in real time. This lets you control the robot with your hands, which makes it more fun and involved. The remote control also makes it easy to use several pre-programmed features.
Build Robots That Work: The Zivko kit is fun and educational for kids ages 10 and up, and it helps teach mechanical engineering. Building a real, working robot helps kids learn by making the complicated world of robotics easier to reach and understand through step-by-step instructions.
Technology Using Artificial Intelligence: Zivko has two different modes, “Follow” and “Explore,” that help young students learn about AI and how it works in robots. The “Follow” mode lets the robot follow a person, and the “Explore” mode lets the robot explore its surroundings on its own, which gets people interested in AI technologies.
Check Out All of Its Features: Zivko can get around barriers, follow people, and use sound and light effects to respond to its surroundings. These features make the robot more interesting and let you connect with it more. Kids can learn about AI and sensor-based technology by playing with the robot and seeing how it interacts with its surroundings.

Not Just Robots: The Teach Tech Zivko kit does more than teach robots; it also encourages kids to think critically, solve problems, and be curious. Kids learn useful skills that help them in many areas of life and school by building and controlling the robot. This makes it a complete learning tool.
Hands-On Fun: The Teach Tech kit makes learning STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) more fun by putting all of these things into one fun product. Building and controlling a robot is fun for kids, and it also helps them learn useful skills like problem-solving and critical thinking.
STEM Development: Zivko is a great way to get kids interested in STEM topics. It helps schools grow in many ways, such as by teaching science and technology, encouraging a love of learning, and boosting engineering and technology skills.

Making learning robotics and programming fun: Zivko’s sound effects, movements, and light responses make learning robots and programming feel like a game. This fun part makes kids want to keep studying and learning about robotics without getting too stressed out.
Strong and Reliable: Zivko is made from strong materials that are designed to last for a long time. Its strong construction means that it will keep working for many learning and playing sessions, making it an investment in education that will last for a long time.
Instructions That Are Easy to Follow: The Zivko robot comes with simple, clear instructions that make it simple for kids to put together and program. The step-by-step instructions are meant to be easy to understand so that kids can build the robot with little help from an adult.
