Arduino Based!

databot™ shares DNA with Arduino and is essentially one of the most popular Arduino project boards, the “Uno.” We’ve tidily organized the Uno architecture into five printed circuit boards and housed them in a crystal-clear, tough-as-nails, polycarbonate cube that fits in the palm of your hand.

Reusable. Rugged. Revolutionary!

databot’s™ ready to roll into any camp or classroom. With a rugged design built to last, you can use it again and again!

Imagine the CTE Activities Possible With These Sensors!

Gathering and analyzing data prepares students for data-driven career paths ranging from agriculture to business analytics

Coding Made Easy!

databot™ is based on open source Arduino architecture which makes it easy to access for hands-on programming challenges. Bring databot™ to life with 4 bright LEDs for flashing messages and a full range speaker for generating sounds. Bring physical computing to the classroom in one tidy little package – no moving parts, no robot wheels to chase, no muss, no fuss.

Robert Cohen on visualizing data with databot™

"You could see everything you've done, every motion you've made, and it would be amazing to track all that information"

Careers in Data Science are Exploding!

For three years in a row, data scientist has been named the number one job in the U.S by Glassdoor. What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the rise of data science needs will create 11.5M job openings by 2026. Not only is there a huge demand, but there is also a noticeable shortage in qualified data scientists.

databot™ Sensors Apply to Many Subject Areas

Physics

Toss it, launch it, swing it, roll it, slide it! databot’s™ accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer enable you to capture and display physical science data.

Life Science

Grow baby grow! Conduct plant experiments monitoring CO2, light, and humidity. Does ultraviolet light effect photosynthesis? Find out with databot™!

Chemistry

Let’s get chemical! Use sensors to study CO2, the density of gases, exothermic and endothermic reactions, and more!

Earth Science

Climatologist group hug! Collect and study environmental data such as air quality, temperature, UV, and humidity.

Math

This adds up to sheer math thrills! Capture, view, and analyze data in real time from the real world. With databot™ the numbers that surround us become visible, trackable, and actionable!

Coding, Art & Engineering

Learn to code and take full control of databot’s™ technology. Make a light and sound show that responds to the environment! Let your imagination run wild!

One Rugged Little Cube!

Throw It! Drop It! Launch It!

databot’s™ impact resistant polycarbonate case lets students launch it on a rocket, shoot it with a slingshot, and much more! Imagine an Arduino Uno in a bullet proof case with built-in sensors, power, and memory. databot’s™ ready to go on coding, electronics, or engineering challenges! With databot™ you can:

Teach diverse and exciting sets of learning activities. You’re limited only by your imagination!
Reuse it again and again with minimal consumables.
Take it anywhere! Inside, outside, to the classroom, and beyond!
Accomplish core learning objectives in science, coding, and career skill development.

Easy Robotics System Integration

databot™ was designed for open access and integration, both electronically and physically!

With built in connections on the bottom for LEGO® and fischertechnik®, easily attach databot™ to any robotics system you’re using! Also included is a plate with velcro that slides onto the bottom, plus students can easily design 3D printer attachments that take advantage of the LEGO® and fischertechik® connections. Integrate engineering design by challenging your students to design and 3D print a custom databot™ connector!

Electronics Excitement!

Hack, Code, Tinker, Make, Invent, & Create!

Based on Arduino Open Source Hardware, databot™ come with ports for Analog/Digital and the widely used I2C protocol, making it a snap for building your own custom sensors and projects! The built in charging circuit and rechargeable LiPo battery provide an easy to access platform for building your own “off-grid” data collection system. Challenge students to calculate the power required to keep databot™ running 24/7 in a remote area. Can they design a power solution with an external battery and a solar panel to run and collect data all night long?!
