Finch Robot 2.0
Bring computer science to life from kindergarten to college!
The Finch Robot Difference
Coding from Kindergarten to College
A robot designed to grow with students. From icon- and block-based coding to advanced text-based programming, the Finch is a tool for elementary school, AP computer science, and every class in between. This low floor, high ceiling tool includes materials designed for teachers who are new to coding so they can meet the needs of students at all experience levels.
The Finch Robot Difference
Designed Specifically for Classrooms
The Finch is a thoughtfully designed, powerful teaching tool. Teach confidently with 7+ hours of battery life, impressive durability, and innovative add-ons like a pen mount and plastic brick adapter. Worry less, charge less often, and let that creativity shine.
The Finch Robot Difference
Backed by Research
The original Finch Robot began being tested in classrooms in 2008. Designed with 10 years of teacher feedback, the new Finch 2.0 is a trusted teaching tool with the evidence to back it up. Check out our Research Page to see published articles.

Why Robotics
Meet standards in new and exciting ways!
Bring standards to life with the unparalleled versatility and creative potential of robotics. Projects with the Finch can easily bridge standards in multiple content areas, creating collaborative, authentic, multi-disciplinary projects that shine.
Why Robotics
Technology for creating, not just consuming
This is not your average screen time! Robotics is hands-on, active, and challenging. Learning through inquiry, discovery, and iteration, students who work with robotics are empowered to see technology as a tool for changing the world.
Why Robotics
Social emotional learning students will beg for!
Working with robotics teaches more than just coding and digital fluency. Projects with the Finch help students to develop soft skills like problem solving, resiliency, and creativity in an engaging, hands-on way. Students will develop into stronger critical thinkers, collaborators, and leaders – all while having fun!
