These robots are an excellent tool for teaching STEM concepts and can provide hours of fun. Programmable robots can help develop the next generation of scientists and engineers by providing them with an exciting, hands-on project that will teach them about robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you&#8217;ll find our top recommended Programmable Robots for teenage kids<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-1-sphero-bolt-app-enabled-programmable-robotic-ball-\"><strong>1) Sphero BOLT: App-Enabled Programmable Robotic Ball<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07DLM5DL7\/?tag=robotsden0e-20\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41NQXVoDgQL.jpg\" style=\"width:auto;\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>transparent 3\u201d rolling robot<\/strong> has been designed to teach teenagers and grown-ups how to code using the related Sphero Edu app<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s new in this version of Sphero Bolt is a transparent sphere, crammed full of different types of sensors. In addition it comes with a very bright 8&#215;8 LED display which can be used to show messages, show animations, change colors or respond to input from the on-board sensors. This is a nice feature that was absent in its predecessors. However it does not have speakers, so the sound is handled by the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its working range is about five meters. It can detect luminosity through a light sensor built in it and can know which direction it is going because of the built-in magnetometer.<br>Teens or adults with advanced coding knowledge can also use comparators, if\/else statements, and multiple types of loops to create more complex programs. Even custom functions can be coded to use them across multiple programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is available for iOS, Android and Amazon devices in addition to a desktop version for PC, Mac, and Chrome. <\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-e633618a-eb22-47d1-b97b-172d0fc68d30\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07DLM5DL7\/?tag=robotsden0e-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main  \" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #fab616; --ub-button-color: #000000; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-icon-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"30\" width=\"30\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M257.2 162.7c-48.7 1.8-169.5 15.5-169.5 117.5 0 109.5 138.3 114 183.5 43.2 6.5 10.2 35.4 37.5 45.3 46.8l56.8-56S341 288.9 341 261.4V114.3C341 89 316.5 32 228.7 32 140.7 32 94 87 94 136.3l73.5 6.8c16.3-49.5 54.2-49.5 54.2-49.5 40.7-.1 35.5 29.8 35.5 69.1zm0 86.8c0 80-84.2 68-84.2 17.2 0-47.2 50.5-56.7 84.2-57.8v40.6zm136 163.5c-7.7 10-70 67-174.5 67S34.2 408.5 9.7 379c-6.8-7.7 1-11.3 5.5-8.3C88.5 415.2 203 488.5 387.7 401c7.5-3.7 13.3 2 5.5 12zm39.8 2.2c-6.5 15.8-16 26.8-21.2 31-5.5 4.5-9.5 2.7-6.5-3.8s19.3-46.5 12.7-55c-6.5-8.3-37-4.3-48-3.2-10.8 1-13 2-14-.3-2.3-5.7 21.7-15.5 37.5-17.5 15.7-1.8 41-.8 46 5.7 3.7 5.1 0 27.1-6.5 43.1z\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/span><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Buy On Amazon<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-2-lego-mindstorms-ev3-31313-robot-kit-for-programming-and-learning-coding-\"><strong>2) LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 31313 Robot Kit for Programming and Learning coding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00CWER3XY\/?tag=robotsden0e-20\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41LEsgPJbBL.jpg\" style=\"width:auto;\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kit includes Lego-based bricks, a programmable EV3 \u201cbrick\u201d that serves as the brain, 4 sensors, a handful of motors, and several more pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EV3 \u201cbrick\u201d consists of a built-in display which shows the wireless connection, battery level and what the robot is currently doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be programmed by using the LEGO Mindstorms Ev3 software for PC.
