Hey everyone, we had a short article published in Scientific America today - and I mean short! Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in the outcome of my efforts in explaining the incredible value that EZ-Robot adds to education of this article
Like all interviews, it was very lengthy process consisting of 3 separate sessions and I provided a great deal of information. However, it appears they were unable to correlate how EZ-Robot help children in education? And therefore, the article resulted in being very short. I was hoping some of you could take a few minutes to add a comment to the blog on their website regarding EZ-Robot and Education. Specifically, how we're providing children real world results.
This is a great opportunity for you, our community, to publically share your EZ-Robot experience with the world. With the article being newly posted, we can get some positive attention through it. It would be helpful for us to have some of the EZ-Robot Community share their passion to the Scientific America readers.
Given that our product is also used by large organizations such as NASA... when children learn EZ-Robot, they are also learning a product that can get them a job when they graduate. There's so many amazing reasons to use EZ-Robot over Link Bot and the others listed on their article.
So, if you could take a moment to visit the article and comment to add to the - I would be very appreciative
Thanks!

I just posted my opinion of EZ Robot on the blog of that web site. I think you can guess a few of the things I stated. My feelings about EZ Robot is no secret to those who know me here.
Thanks Dave! I think the time is coming for the EZ-Robot community to come together and spread the word - before children end up being taught the wrong product and technology.
I have just posted my opinion too in praise of EZ-Robot which is a perfect platform for educational robotics.
Well done Tony. I totally agree with what you wrote. I'm glad you posted your very clear comments about how important and hard it is to keep kids attention. Kids loose interest if stuff in unduly complicated and hard to understand. EZ Robots is the perfect tool for the classroom.
I agree with @DJ. It's time we start moving kids toward EZ Robot and don't let them fall into the Arduino rabbit hole. Nothing down there except confusion and bad dreams. sick I've got a young few grandkids that will be EZB Devotees. ;)
I tryed to make an account but it keeps saying that I did not verify it so when I tell it to send me an email it does not work.Toymaker and Dave Schulpius are right I am a kid and when our teacher is teaching some people sleep but sometimes she make it a bit more fun and we get to go outside school ground. The most exiting thing so far was our science fair it was last year
I thought of making a robot but then I realized that it was very hard to program an arduino so I gave up.this year my eagerness to build a robot grew so I kept searching and I found ez robot.
@Mohamed, that's great to hear
I bet your EZ-Robot will be amazing and impress your friends. I'm always adding new features and enhancements to the software to make it more powerful!
We are working with many school boards, teachers and home schooled parents. They are all recognizing how different EZ-Robot is from the others. Our branding, style, video media, software, hardware and community separates us from the others.
Also, thanks everyone for the comments. Hopefully we'll get Anthony and Rich to chime in on there as well! :D
It will be a big archivement if I impress my friend I am working with one friend he said that he will be getting wifi soon.All my other friends looked up arduino and they said that I will never be able to build a robot but thanks to ez robot I can now prove them wrong
I left my comments.
@Mohamed, that's really great to hear! thank you for the nice words :)
Also, thanks @Fxrtst!
My pleasure DJ!
