Are you up and running with a drone STEM education program? If so, take it to the next level with databot™! 10 onboard sensors, SD card support, and 8GB of onboard memory empower you to create all kinds of challenges for your students.
One tiny cube packed with high-tech, science exploration fun. databot™ fits in the palm of your hand and collects data from 11 sensors! Measure motion, temperature, altitude, air quality, and more. Stream data instantly from engaging experiments in science, coding, and every learning environment imaginable!
databot™ shares DNA with Arduino and is essentially one of the most popular Arduino project boards, the “Uno.” We’ve tidily organized the Uno architecture into five printed circuit boards and housed them in a crystal-clear, tough-as-nails, polycarbonate cube that fits in the palm of your hand.
databot’s™ ready to roll into any camp or classroom. With a rugged design built to last, you can use it again and again!
databot™ is based on open source Arduino architecture which makes it easy to access for hands-on programming challenges. Bring databot™ to life with 4 bright LEDs for flashing messages and a full range speaker for generating sounds. Bring physical computing to the classroom in one tidy little package – no moving parts, no robot wheels to chase, no muss, no fuss.
For three years in a row, data scientist has been named the number one job in the U.S by Glassdoor. What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the rise of data science needs will create 11.5M job openings by 2026. Not only is there a huge demand, but there is also a noticeable shortage in qualified data scientists.

Toss it, launch it, swing it, roll it, slide it! databot’s™ accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer enable you to capture and display physical science data.
Grow baby grow! Conduct plant experiments monitoring CO2, light, and humidity. Does ultraviolet light effect photosynthesis? Find out with databot™!
Climatologist group hug! Collect and study environmental data such as air quality, temperature, UV, and humidity.
This adds up to sheer math thrills! Capture, view, and analyze data in real time from the real world. With databot™ the numbers that surround us become visible, trackable, and actionable!
Learn to code and take full control of databot’s™ technology. Make a light and sound show that responds to the environment! Let your imagination run wild!
databot’s™ impact resistant polycarbonate case lets students launch it on a rocket, shoot it with a slingshot, and much more! Imagine an Arduino Uno in a bullet proof case with built-in sensors, power, and memory. databot’s™ ready to go on coding, electronics, or engineering challenges! With databot™ you can:
databot™ was designed for open access and integration, both electronically and physically!
With built in connections on the bottom for LEGO® and fischertechnik®, easily attach databot™ to any robotics system you’re using! Also included is a plate with velcro that slides onto the bottom, plus students can easily design 3D printer attachments that take advantage of the LEGO® and fischertechik® connections. Integrate engineering design by challenging your students to design and 3D print a custom databot™ connector!
Based on Arduino Open Source Hardware, databot™ come with ports for Analog/Digital and the widely used I2C protocol, making it a snap for building your own custom sensors and projects! The built in charging circuit and rechargeable LiPo battery provide an easy to access platform for building your own “off-grid” data collection system. Challenge students to calculate the power required to keep databot™ running 24/7 in a remote area. Can they design a power solution with an external battery and a solar panel to run and collect data all night long?!
databot™ comes complete with everything you need to start exploring the hidden world of data immediately!
Speaker for Sound Output
Code databot™ to squeak, beep and chirp based on data it receives.
Programmable Display LEDs
Create interactive light displays or use the pre-built programs to light up databot™ in exciting ways!
SD Card Writer
Log data. You are limited only by the size of your SD card to the data you want to capture!
Mini USB Connection
Charge and program. Simple and efficient – one databot™, one cable.
Bluetooth
Wireless transmission of live data. Visualize real data in real-time on the big screen in the front of the classroom. Play catch with databot™ and watch the numbers!
Rechargeable Battery
250 mAh LiPo battery built in. No batteries to purchase, no extra expenses, no hassle. Just pure databot™ fun!
Temperature Probe
Connect an external temperature probe via 2.5mm stereo jack input. Plug in the included waterproof temperature probe to instantly gain access to live data for chemistry, life science, and environmental studies.
External Analog Sensors
databot™ LOVES data. The more sensors the merrier so we added this simple 2.5 mm stereo jack input port for connecting additional analog sensors.
I2C Sensors
Did we say databot™ LOVES data? I2C enables databot to daisy chain hundreds of additional sensors via a 3.5mm stereo jack input.
Robot Connections
Built-in case connections for LEGO® and fischertechnik® elements. Connect databot™ to your favorite robot and start running data collection missions!
Detachable Baseplate
Also included is a plate for adding a Velcro attachment that enables databot™ to hitch a ride on drones, cars, hot air balloons, bikes, skateboards, pogo sticks and so much more!
Databot Expansion Cable Introduction Databot becomes even more powerful when it can connect to external sensors and other devices. A simple expansion cable makes this
