The Fable robot was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of educators – providing them with a fun and easy way to teach 21st-century skills and STEM subjects and to bring coding to life.
Fable is a modular construction set that students use to create their own robot in just a few minutes. Students can quickly click the different modules together in infinite ways to build their robot’s body and then program it for sensing and movement.
Fable Explore comes with a Fable joint module that gives the functionality of an arm in a humanoid robot. Fable Explore can be used to teach problem-solving skills and enable students to explore physics and mathematics in new ways.
Depending on their experience level, students can program Fable using Blockly, a visual programming language, or Python®, a text-based language.
Also available is the Fable Face app, which is found on both the Mac App Store and Google Play. Fable Face enables students to build robots that are interactive, social individuals and experiment with algorithms to control Fable’s expressions using the phone’s accelerometer.
