Dash is a programmable robot for kids roughly 6 to 11, built to teach coding through play. It moves, sings, dances, lights up, reacts to voices and sounds, and can tell a story, driven by free Wonder Workshop apps such as Blockly and Wonder. It has no camera, so play is about motion, sensors and sound rather than vision. It is sturdier and more classroom-proven than most toy robots, and its guided challenges grow with the child from simple sequencing to loops and variables.

Owners rate Dash highly, calling it engaging and sturdy, and praise how quickly kids pick up coding with the apps. Teachers and parents say it holds attention across ages. Complaints center on the tablet requirement and on younger children needing help at first.
Dash is a programmable robot from Wonder Workshop that teaches kids to code through play. It is built to be durable and has a rechargeable battery. Its sensors let it interact with its surroundings while it follows programming commands.
Kids ages 6-11 use free apps, such as Blockly or Wonder, to program Dash to move, sing, dance, flash its lights, respond to voices, make sounds and tell a story. Through self-directed play and guided challenges, they learn coding concepts including sequencing, events, loops, algorithms, operations and variables. They can watch their code turn into real actions as Dash carries it out.
Dash does not contain a camera. The apps are available for iOS, Android and Chrome browsers on laptops and desktops. Using the apps on a mobile device, such as an iPad or Android tablet, does not require an internet connection. An internet connection is required to download and install the apps and to use Blockly for the web on a laptop.
