New Product Debut
NexusBot is a programmable, intelligent robot for children to learn coding, and it is perfectly appropriate for STEAM education. NexusBot is an 8-dof biped robot which mainly consists of a core micro:bit and an exclusive Nexus:bit expansion board. Through the customized blocky code for NexusBot, children can easily program and instantly observe the robot waving, walking, dancing, making sounds, avoid obstacles, and so on depending on what the student programs it to do. Furthermore, NexusBot can also be transformed into a 2WD car! With NexusBot, children can customize and design lots of creative and fun projects.

Microsoft's MakeCode graphic editor is already powerful enough, but it also allows users to develop their own custom extension to re-packaging complex functions into simple blocks. Just click and drag those blocks and kids can do coding on them! This is why TCEA designed an extension specifically for Nexus:bit. (You can still control your Nexus:bit by using standard MakeCode blocks, not limited by our custom extension.)
（To use this extension, go to the MakeCode editor and click Advanced -> Extension... then enter "nexusbit" in the search box. Click the extension which appears to import it.）
