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 an online 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.
