Are you a Chromebook school who will be using the Parallax Shield-Bot for Arduino Robot? We offer you free and unlimited Codebender:Edu support for the 2023-2024 school year when you purchase a 12-pack Plus for Classrooms!
The Parallax Shield-Bot for Arduino is the most popular robotic kit ever made for the Arduino. Educational Arduino school programs in Chromebook-only schools face a challenge when it comes to programming Shield-Bots: The Arduino web editor has limitations with downloads and requires a subscription fee.
Through an arrangement with Codebender:Edu, Parallax is offering new Shield-Bot classrooms a free subscription to Codebender:Edu for the 2023-2024 school year, for up to 20 students. This browser-based programming environment is free of hassles, too. No COPPA or FERPA compliance issues, no student identity required. Just enter the license key—once—at the special URL we will provide to get your classroom link. Then, students just use the your classroom link and start coding, so we can all spend our robotics time very effectively.
Who qualifies? Any educational purchase of the Shield-Bot 12-Pack Plus for Classrooms can receive a license key. Just send a message to learn@parallax.com and we’ll reply with the key and instructions. Then, your students can “turn and burn” all the Arduino C code they can write without worrying about when they’ll be out of downloads!
