The Finch Robot 2.0 is BirdBrain Technologies' programmable wheeled robot for teaching computer science from kindergarten to college. Launched in 2020 as the second version of the Finch, which first went into classroom testing in 2008, it was redesigned with ten years of teacher feedback as a 'low floor, high ceiling' tool: young students start with icon-based FinchBlox, then move to block coding in BirdBlox, Snap! or MakeCode and on to text programming in JavaScript, Python and Java. It works with iOS, Android, Fire OS, Chromebook, Windows, Mac and Linux devices, and is meant for one or two students per robot. A micro:bit mounts on the robot as its controller. Two driven wheels with encoders let it move and turn precisely, and it carries line-tracking, light, distance (obstacle) and sound sensing, an accelerometer and compass, radio messaging, full-colour LEDs and a buzzer. A pen mount lets it draw as it drives and a plastic brick adapter takes building bricks, and its battery runs for more than seven hours. Teachers get a free course, step-by-step tutorials, more than 30 classroom activities and a loan programme.
