Get crafty with technology. Here we'll post all our ideas and projects using technology to get creative and making with kids. You'll find anything from making a lemon battery to a glow-in-the-dark Minecraft sword. Our projects are tried and tested on our own kids or at events we run, so we are sure you can have a go at home with your kids. Some of our projects use specific tech gadgets which we provide links for you to purchase.
STEM$show=/search/label/stem
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In recent years there is an increased focus in these areas of study. We like to include Art and Design too, so we often talk about STEAM (A stands for Art). At Tech Age Kids we believe Coding is a new literacy and children need to understand how technology works, practice making skills and grow in their curiosity to make a better future for us all.
CODING$show=/search/label/coding
Coding is increasingly being recognised as an important skill for children to learn. Some will learn to code at school or at a coding club, but it's brilliant if they get support at home too.
ELECTRONICS$show=/search/label/electronics
We think it's really important for kids to get hands-on with electronics and learn how to make circuits and write code to control hardware.
Younger kids can start with conductive playdough. For kids who like to combine craft and tech, littleBits are fab. And we love SAM Labs wireless electronics components for making it easy for kids to make Internet of Things inventions.
Lots of electronics kits for kids have support for the Arduino microprocessor environment. The DuinoKit Jr is one of our favourites. Arduino is a fab skill for older kids and teens to develop.
ROBOTICS$show=/search/label/robotics
We love robots at Tech Age Kids, especially programmable ones. We've got lots of them and write reviews and projects that use them.
Our programmable robots for kids buying guide is a good place to start if you're not sure what's available.
Roby the mBot Meccano robot dog is one of our popular projects and has been with us to lots of events. Our Ozobot LEGO trailer is fab for kids who love LEGO and robots.
MAKING AND CRAFT$show=/search/label/making
We're advocates of the creative use of technology, but this needs to be balanced with developing physical skills such as papercraft, woodwork, clay modelling, technical drawing and soldering. If children don't develop these skills as they grow up then physical making projects can become frustrating rather than fun.
The Maker Community uses the term 'making' as a broad term to include all sorts of artisan skills or craft activities. Being able to make things can lead to life-long hobbies or even careers. It's a great feeling to be able to take a project from an idea in your head to a real object that does something.
We're particularly interested to explore products that combine maker skills with tech skills such as electronics but others focus purely on the physical making skills that are still important to modern making.
The Makeblock mBot Ranger is a STEM educational robot that kids can assemble and program themselves. The Ranger is the older sibling of the mBot robot which is the basis for my younger son's Roby the Robot Dog project.
Disclosure: Makeblock sent us an mBot Ranger for review. Our opinions are our own.
What is the mBot Ranger?
The mBot Ranger is an educational robot with powder-coated metal parts and an Arduino compatible mainboard called the Me Auriga. The Ranger can be built into three different robots: The tank-like Land Raider with wheel tread, The balancing Nervous Bird and the speedy Dashing Raptor. And you can design your own robots too.
The mainboard has a ring of 12 RGB LED lights, a tone buzzer that can play musical notes, sound, light (x2) and temperature sensors and a gyro sensor to detect tilt. It also drives the two motors that control the wheels and connects to the included distance and line-followed sensors. The mainboard also has spare ports for connecting additional components.
The mBot Ranger offers simple graphical programming on tablets, Scratch-based graphical programming on PC / Mac and C-based Arduino coding for advanced users.
The mBot ranger can be controlled and programmed via Bluetooth low energy.

We have previously reviewed the earlier mBot robot from the range and will soon be reviewing the updated mBot 1.1. The mBot Ranger is a step up from the regular mBot.
Unboxing
As has always been our experience with mBot, the Ranger is beautifully and practically packaged. Components are separated with cardboard inners and smaller components are in bags. The box is made from sturdy cardboard and has a magnetic catch which makes it really easy to open and close the box.
We still have the boxes from our original mBot robots and use them to store the robots and their components when not in use. This is a big deal for us. Other robot kits that don't come with a reusable storage box are hard to store and mean you end up buying a suitable storage box. Unfortunately the Ranger doesn't quite fit into the box when built in its Land Raider configuration, but at least the box can be used for storing all the additional parts and tools (not all parts are used in each robot.)
The included instruction manual has pictorial instructions for building the three robots that you can make from the Ranger kit.
"Oh wow you can put a LEGO figure on it."
One of the first things my son noticed is that the enclosure for the mBot Ranger main board has LEGO compatible connectors. That's a big deal in this house. Any robot that gets built is going to end up carrying LEGO minifigures and being built on top of!
Another nice feature is that the tools you need are included in the box. This is really convenient and means you don't have to hunt for tools before getting started and that kids get their own tools. The screwdriver is good quality too and has a nice soft-grip handle which makes it easier for kids to work with.
Building the mBot Ranger
"Can we make the one with tracks?"
I didn't build the mBot Ranger, my 9 year old son did. He has previously built his mBot and helped me to build a Meccanoid so he does have some experience.
I had to slow him down a little at the beginning to make sure he was comparing the screws to the 1-1 diagrams in the instruction booklet but apart from that he didn't need much help with the physical assembly other than me tightening everything up at the end to make sure it will stay together.
Unfortunately he did have trouble with the very first step which was connecting the motor wires.
We did get it right first time, but we weren't at all certain that we had! I'd recommend putting these connectors in first before getting a child to assemble the robot (and it might be better if they came pre-connected.)
"Hmm, I don't know which way round these connectors go."The other components in the set connect with simple RJ25 connectors but the motor uses different connectors. We found it really hard to see which way around the connectors go (there are some tiny bumps that look like they go into matching slots but we didn't spot them at first) and the diagram seems to show them the wrong way around. The connector was really tricky to slot in too.

Remote Control with the Makeblock App
"Let's go to Mars"
Our first test of the robot was using the Makeblock App on the iPad. We've used a lot of Bluetooth robots and this one had the most seamless experience we've seen yet.
We just turned the robot on and the app detected the mBot Ranger and connected to it.
We've also had good results using the Makeblock Android app on a phone and a Kindle Fire HD (via Google Play.)

Demo Projects
The app includes a set of demo projects so my son chose the Mars Explorer project which works with the robot in its Land Raider (tank with tracks) configuration.
He was instantly able to control the robot and change the brightness of the awesome ring of LEDs on top of the Ranger.
After establishing that everything was working as expected (phew! we go the motor wires correctly connected) he went straight on to creating his own project in the app.
"I like this, it's really cool."
Custom Dashboard
This is very well thought through. The app allows you to create custom dashboards for the Ranger. You can choose a set of controls and displays and lay them out.
Drag and Drop Coding
"Now I'm programming the button to set the colours of the LEDs so it's a multi-coloured circle."
Next my son moved to the drag and drop coding interface in the app. I did not have to help here at all, he instantly got the idea and started coding. He added a button to the interface and programmed it to do a rainbow light display.
Here's the result:
Programming the mBot Ranger with mBlock
Next we downloaded the latest version of the Makeblock mBlock software on my son's PC. This is the same software that we have used before with the mBot.
mBlock adds robot control blocks to Scratch which works really well. My kids know Scratch well and the mBlock environment builds naturally on their existing knowledge.
While the mBlock software was downloading we took a look at the Mars Adventure of Mark online course material that goes with it. It starts with a story to read, it's poorly translated into English, but my son was able to get the gist of it. He really liked that in mentioned Makerspaces (we had been to ours to do some laser cutting the day before.)
The first chapter on the course includes lots of technical information about the robot which my son devoured. There are a few questions that kids can answer to check their understanding. The names of the robot builds differ from those in the product, but my son liked the idea of a Hunting Dog (Dashing Raptor).
Chapter 2 goes through the instructions for installing the Makeblock software and connecting to the Ranger. It then begins with some simple example code to write and run.
The course currently ends there, but further chapters are promised.
You can also program the Ranger with Arduino code, but we'll leave that for the future, there's plenty to do in the graphical block-based language for now. It's great to have Arduino available as a next step as it's so widely used.
Before you Get Started
- Make sure you have 6 AA batteries
- Install the Makeblock app on a mobile device
- Install the Makeblock mBlock software on a PC or laptop
- Bookmark the Makeblock Ranger online course
Verdict
"Can I have another one for my birthday so I can build the Hunting Dog robot without taking this one apart?"
We've been fans of the mBot robots since we received our first robot from Kickstarter. In the early days there were some technical glitches but the experience with the mBot Ranger has been really smooth (with the exception of connecting the motors.)
The Ranger's powder coated metal parts look fantastic and are easy to work with. My son really felt that he had built a robot but the task wasn't too daunting.
The Ranger is a very nice introduction to robotics for children. The progression from configuring a dashboard through block-based programming and eventually on to Arduino makes the Ranger suitable for a wide range of abilities. This means that it could be used by multiple members of a family or by the same child over a long period of time.
The Me Auriga board comes with ports to add additional outputs and sensors. The ability to easily add extra, affordable, components means that it's easy to extend the robot (as we have done with our mBots.)
It's early days for the educational material for the Ranger, but the story based approach really appeals to my son. If you're looking for a robot that comes with a full robotics course then the Ranger is not there yet (but check the course website for the latest status), much of the course material for the mBot robot could also be adapted to the Ranger. The mBlock interface is pretty intuitive, especially if kids have already used Scratch or another block-based language, so kids are likely to be work out how to program the Ranger through exploration.
Being able to build multiple robots from the same kit is a great feature but my son doesn't want to take the Land Raider apart! I guess we'll have to wait to try out the other robots that you can make. I suspect that at some point he'll get interested in balancing robots and we'll get to try out the Nervous Bird.
The mBot Ranger is a great choice for kids who know Scratch or will be learning it at school. It's also a great base for teen or family robot projects that can be programmed with Scratch or Arduino.
The ability to attach LEGO figures and bricks is the killer feature of the Ranger as far as my son is concerned. It means that the Ranger can be part of his imaginative play. Having a robot that he can customize for different scenarios fits the way he and his brother play.
You can also buy the mBot Ranger direct from Makeblock where you'll also find lots of additional accessories.
