Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about PrimaSTEM
What age is PrimaSTEM for?
From age 4. The board speaks each token — knowing numbers isn't required. Ages 4–7 work with logic and simple programs. Ages 7–10 add mathematics, precise angles, and drawing.
How does it work?
Children place command tokens on a wooden board — that's their program. Press Start — the robot executes. Wrong result? Find the error, swap a token, run again. No screen, no apps.
What's in the kit?
Ladybug robot (wood, USB-C, Bluetooth), control board with 11 dual slots, command tokens (cardboard, NFC, color-coded), and a teacher's guide with lesson plans.
Does the robot draw?
Yes. Insert a marker and every movement leaves a line. Children program stars, spirals, polygons, fractals. Forward 50, Right 144, Repeat 5 = a star.
Does it work with maps from other robots?
Yes. The default step size is adjustable — 10, 12, 15, 25 cm or any value. PrimaSTEM works with any grid map you already have.
