Arduino Alvik

Alvik simplifies coding and complex robot projects, enabling users of all levels to immerse themselves in the exciting world of programming and robotics. It’s also a cross-discipline tool bridging the gap between education and the future of robotics through free courses aligned with CSTA and NGSS standards. This innovative and versatile robot makes learning and creating more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

Powered by the versatile Nano ESP32, Alvik ensures you start programming swiftly and efficiently. Its comprehensive programming suite supports block-based coding for young learners and MicroPython and Arduino language for more advanced individuals ready to delve into coding and robotics. This means whether you're just starting or looking to refine your skills, Alvik has you covered.

Alvik is packed with multiple integrated sensors, including Time of Flight, RGB color, and a line-following array, as well as a 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer. These features empower users to engage in a variety of innovative, real-world projects, like creating an obstacle-avoidance robot or a smart warehouse automation vehicle. The world is brimmed with possibilities when Arvik is in your hands.

Take personalization to a new level with Alvik. With LEGO® Technic™ connectors, users can expand its capabilities. Whether it's customizing the robot's appearance or functionality, the M3 screw connectors allow for 3D-printed or laser-cut designs to thrive alongside it. This means every learning experience can be uniquely tailored.

Amplifying Alvik’s flexibility and dynamism is made possible through Servo, I2C Grove, and I2C Qwiic connectors. These allow for adding motors to control robotic arms and movement or integrating additional sensors for data collection and analysis. Alvik offers you the tools to bring your unique vision to life.

Its compact yet robust design allows learners to transform imaginative ideas from simple codes to complex technological developments. Alvik’s pocket-size build means it's suitable for any learning environment, be it a classroom, makerspace, home, or even a garage. Its rechargeable and easy-to-replace battery ensures uninterrupted learning sessions, promoting a continuous and enjoyable creative process.

Embracing an innovative curriculum, Alvik offers project-based learning lessons in both block-based coding and MicroPython. These activities build critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, preparing students for real-world challenges. Thus, Alvik is less an educational tool and more a companion on the journey of discovery.
