EdSketch
Meet the latest educational product in the Edison suite, EdSketch!
The EdSketch Marker Pen is a dry erase marker designed to work on whiteboards and paper. The Pen Holder easily attaches to the Edison robot and holds the Pen Marker in place, thus allowing students to unlock their artistic potential.
EdSketch is a perfect addition to the Edison programming and robotics curriculum to promote creativity and many open-ended challenge ideas.
