Databot – Single

Meet Databot — the tiny science lab built for big discoveries!

 

Hold it. Drop it. Spin it. Launch it. Take it outside. Put it inside an experiment. Databot transforms the phenomena and invisible forces all around us into live data students can see, measure, and explore.

Packed with multiple sensors in one compact, durable device, Databot gives students a hands-on way to investigate the real world—turning abstract science concepts into experiences they can actually see and understand

  • Make the invisible visible. Explore motion, acceleration, light, sound, temperature, pressure, altitude, magnetic fields, and more through real-world data.
  • One device. Endless experiments. From investigating gravity and motion to exploring the environment, databot opens the door to inquiry across physics, Earth science, life science, engineering, and STEM.
  • Science students can experience. Instead of simply reading about a phenomenon, students create it, measure it, visualize the data, ask questions, and discover what’s happening for themselves.
  • Built for learning, not just measuring. Pair databot with ready-to-use lessons and activities that help teachers bring hands-on data science into the classroom without building every investigation from scratch.

Don’t just teach students how the world works. Give them the tools to discover it.

Software

One Connected Ecosystem

No proprietary software that locks educators into a single workflow, Databot embraces an ecosystem of trusted educational tools.  Using the same live sensor data throughout their learning journey, students move naturally between these various tools.

Vizeey (IOS/Android/Chromebooks)

Simply connect your Databot over Bluetooth and start collecting, graphing, and investigating real-world measurements in seconds. Databot lessons include QR codes that open pre-configured Vizeey experiments, so students can jump straight into the activity.

For educators, Vizeey removes the setup and technical friction from hands-on data collection. Experiments are ready to go, giving you more time to guide inquiry, encourage discussion, and focus on creating an engaging, effective learning experience.

CODAP

Simply connect your Databot, collect live sensor data, and bring it into CODAP to create graphs, compare variables, identify patterns, and investigate relationships.

For educators, CODAP gives students an intuitive way to move beyond simply collecting measurements and start thinking like data scientists. Databot activities help structure the investigation, so you can focus on guiding discussion, asking great questions, and helping students discover the story hidden inside their data.

 

MicroBlocks

Using simple block-based programming, students can read live sensor data, create interactive projects, control outputs, and build experiments that connect coding with science, engineering, and physical computing.

For educators, MicroBlocks makes it easy to introduce programming without a steep learning curve. Students can start experimenting quickly, while Databot activities provide a clear path for combining coding, data, and hands-on STEM exploration in meaningful, engaging ways.

 

Other Options

There are options for the Arduino IDE, MicroPython, Excel, and also copy and paste into Desmos for educators who use these tools
