Visual, Blockly, Scratch and text programming
Program through events with pictures, text or a mix of both

Visual feedback in visual programming
You can see when each part of the program is executed

Feedback of all variables in real time
Check the values of the sensors, change the motor speed, and much more

You can learn programming with Thymio through a selection of several languages and environments. With the Wireless version, you keep a constant connection with your robot. Program and reprogram it on the fly, while it is on the playground!

The basic behaviours of the robot and the different programming environments allow children aged 6 and more to discover the fantastic world of robotics.

These programming capabilities have been carefully designed by scientists, and innovative features, such as showing in real time which part of the program is being executed, have been demonstrated to improve learning. This feature is especially useful with the Wireless Thymio, as you can analyse how your program is executed in real time while the robot operates on the playground.

Visual Programming Language (VPL)

Discover programming in the easiest way thanks to the Visual Programming Language for Thymio (VPL). Download and install Aseba, connect Thymio to your computer, start Thymio VPL and take your first steps in programming.

How does it work? It's really easy. Drag and drop blocks of images in the centre of the screen, adjust them so that they do what you want, press Play and that's it, you just programmed Thymio.

Age: 6+

Blockly

Developed by Google, Blockly is an ideal bridge between a visual and a text programming language. Assemble visual blocks that have the power of text programming and use Wireless Thymio at 100% of its capabilities without writing a single line of code!

Age: 9+

Text programming with Aseba Studio

You already did a lot with VPL and Blockly, you will be able to do even more with Aseba Studio and the textual programming.

Check the state of Thymio, access all its sensors, create plots in real time, your imagination has no limits any more.
